The bonds linking family and the lines separating enemies become blurred for 17-year-old Robert when the cousin he loves begs him to aid her father, a Confederate prisoner-of-war, then travel south to help her care for his estranged mother. Unwittingly entangled in a prison escape, left for dead, and charged as a spy, Robert must forge his anger and shame into a renewed determination to rescue his family. When confronted by an enemy and a war he no longer understands, Robert finds that the rescue, and its results, may not be up to him.
