This short film tells the true, yet tragic, story of the summary execution of 13 prisoners-of-war at the height of the Civil War in 1863, in Shelton Laurel, of Madison County, located in the Appalachian Mountains of North Carolina. Because the state was deeply divided by the War, the state's confederate governor sends a young and ambitious attorney to investigate and try the divisive case, pitting Southerner against Southerner and neighbor against neighbor.
