It was a man’s war.
Men had started it.
Men would fight it.
Men would end it. At least that is what everyone thought.
With
Civil War destroying the country, Mary and Lynn decide to help
even if they aren’t wanted.
Mary joins an aid society and helps to heal the wounded.
Lynn disguises herself as a boy and fights alongside the
men and boys of the army. Each
of them faces different challenges as they struggle to be
treated as equals. During the Battle of Antietam, these two very different
girls, who choose two very different paths find themselves forced
to work together to not only save the United States of America
but to somehow take a stand for women in a war that was only for
men.
