In the bitter winter of 1777, freedom and bondage dance an impossible waltz across America's revolutionary landscape. Through the eyes of Curzon, a young Black soldier who has escaped slavery, we witness the fundamental contradiction at the heart of America's birth: a fight for liberty led by men who owned slaves. After separating from his companion Isabel over their search for her sister Ruth, Curzon finds himself alone and betrayed once again when a wagon driver refuses to pay him for weeks of labor. Taking justice into his own hands, he steals silverware as compensation and flees into the wilderness near Saratoga. Hidden behind a fallen oak, Curzon becomes an unwitting witness to the opening moments of the Second Battle of Saratoga. When he spots a young Patriot soldier about to fall victim to a British bayonet, he instinctively hurls stones at the redcoat with deadly accuracy. The grateful soldier-Eben Woodruff-embraces Curzon as a fellow fighter for the American cause. Despite the irony of a former slave fighting for a nation that embraces slavery, Curzon finds himself swept into the Continental Army, claiming the fallen redcoat's musket and experiencing an unexpected revelation amid the chaos of battle: a profound sense of belonging among men united not by chains but by choice.
