After British soldiers cavalierly kill his father in 1781, sixteen-year-old James Todd follows his conscience rather than the principles of his Quaker faith and earns money to support his mother and siblings by working for the Patriots. As he provides detailed information to the Army regarding the area around Guilford Court House, James is befriended by General Nathaniel Greene. During the ensuing battle, James must not only confront his religious convictions, but what he will do when he confronts his father’s murderer.
