In the bloody aftermath of the Civil War, Martha and Heck face an uncertain future after Martha's father dies, leaving his homestead to his daughter and her husband. Subsequently approached by a mining-company representative with designs on their land, they intend to accept the company's lucrative offer when Martha's older brother Wade (Barlow Jacobs), a Union Army defector, returns to pay his final respects to his father.
