Seven present Day Civil War Reenactors performing at Gettysburg run into the wrong guy and wind up in over their heads
Show me a man without his Civil War,
and I’ll show you a man that will never know true peace
On this special anniversary year, tens of thousands of Civil War Reenactors or ‘Living Historians’ will converge on a small town in Pennsylvania to simulate the greatest battle of the American Civil War: Gettysburg.
They come to honor those that fought for real and to enjoy the company of others sharing the same passion for history. All of them aspiring to achieve a ‘period rush’ or a moment so immersive in complete sensory detail that one truly believes that they are indeed ‘living history’.
And into this virtual world of 1860s America, a young idealistic history teacher from Georgia, Zachary Taylor, will be guiding several of his fellow reenactors reflecting every facet of American life including Daniel Quinn, an Irish cop from Maine, Virgil Harlan, a country born & raised Texan, Elizabeth Sanchez, a young woman and tomboy at heart from Illinois, Jesse Lee, an aristocratic surgeon from Virginia, William Grant, an African-American army officer from California, and lastly, Zachary’s best friend and skeptic, Nicholas Koskov from New York, testing out their hobby for the first time.
However… Each begins experiencing an escalating, unsettling unease creeping into the minds. As if the bloodied fields of national division were inflaming their own private, personal defeats rendering their souls apart with doubt, guilt, and self-loathing. A few sense something else, a foreboding of something menacing lurking just out of perception.
Then the dashing, mysterious Silas Gray appears with a proposition no less intoxicating that the bottle of the ‘little green fairy’ bearing the name Deimos. After accepting a dram, these seven Civil War reenactors will swiftly learn…
You cannot run from history
