It's 1865 and the Civil War is over. But the suffering's just begun for a South Carolina soldier's bride who birthed a child and buried it on the farm while her husband was in a Union prison. Placidia Hockaday may hang for the crime. Or, she could save herself, but only if she's willing to destroy the person she loves most.
Based on a true event.
