How far does a boy have to go to become a man? 1860S, Civil War. Robbie, a 14-year-old boy, embarks on a journey to find his father alone. During the long journey, he encountered liars, slaves, murderers, and corpse hunters. The world was more cruel than he imagined. He watched the girl Rachel being ravaged but could do nothing. He helped a pregnant woman bury a boy of his own age through many difficulties and dangers. He finally found his father, but his father was in danger. It was a tough time growing up! Love rises in the dust of history and the remnants of war. At the end of life, the light of humanity shines brightly. We can watch the condensed figure, how the thin back of the lonely boy transforms into the steady arms of a strong man.
