The Jeremiah Morgans of Ohio and the Seth Coopers of Virginia share a friendship and faith stretching back two centuries. Now that their children are engaged to be married that bond will forever be secured by blood. However when Seth found out Jeremiah's sons were running slaves to freedom it separates the families.

As the Civil War erupts the children of the two families are uprooted from home and to battlefields. However, their greatest peril may come from the New York banker and long time enemy of the Morgans and Coopers who plots revenge for the death of his only daughter.
