About

During the Civil War, Confederate soldiers escape from a Union prison and head for the Mexican border. Along the way, they kill a Union courier bearing the news that the war is over. Keeping the message a secret, the captain has his men go on and they soon find themselves in a battle with the Union search party who also is unaware of the war's end.

Dusty, desperate, and heavy with the scent of betrayal, this Civil War tale follows a group of escaped prisoners who choose a violent lie over the peace of a concluded conflict. The tension builds steadily as a small band of soldiers races toward the Mexican border to keep their deadly secret from reaching the Union search parties.
