    He’s going to leave his life as a doctor behind to become a Union soldier. Of course, it’s not as simple as it seems – especially now there’s a girl involved. It’s not long before Jim finds himself on the wrong side of three Union heavyweights: Binney, Collett and Feiner, who are all after Sara – the girl that Jim is fast falling in love with. Even when Jim is accepted into the ranks, it seems his troubles won’t leave him alone and neither will those men. Everywhere he goes they seem to be watching. When Jim saves the eye of his Sergeant he hopes it might prove to be their salvation. However, Jim’s actions make things worse and he’s outlawed, leaving Sara behind to fend for herself. Jim’s mission seems simple enough at first, but that’s before the Sioux Nation begin attacking the local towns and villages.
