The year is 1869, the war itself in the divided United States has grown to nearly a standstill. Both sides using this time to fight each other in the seas, get further aid and ground support from their foreign allies and stabilize their respective nations. We follow the journey and adventure of the Army of Jersey lead by Major General Franklin K. Park. They have been station across the Mississippi River to try and keep what they can of the Anaconda Plan alive.
But when they are ambushed, surrounded and besieged, unable to get word to the rest of the Union, will they be able to hold once again against overwhelming odds? Will they finally fall victim to their own luck and follies? Or will they be met by a saving grace that they are unsure is a blessing or a trick by the devil himself.
