In the midst of raucous musket and cannon fire exchanged between north and south during the infamous Battle of Bull Run, Union Army Soldier Ezekiel Ambrose decides that he no longer wishes to stand, fight and potentially die for the cause. Quietly wandering away from the carnage down the middle of a shallow stream, he encounters what he refers to as a traverse, a bizarre, glowing gateway leading out to who knows where. From one battlefield to another, this Parlour Soldier discovers that the act of walking away from a fight doesn’t necessarily lead to an end of the bloodshed.
