It's 1863, and Thomas and his little sister, Birdie, have fled the farm where they were born as slaves. Following the North Star, looking for freedom, they soon cross paths with a Union soldier. They are now marching with the army. But then orders come through: the men are called to battle in Pennsylvania. Thomas has made it so far...but does he have what it takes to survive Gettysburg?
