A battle-weary soldier during the American Civil War is inspired to carry on when his mare gives birth, and disobeys orders to shoot the newborn foal. In time his comrades-in-arms come to regard the little colt as an omen of good luck - and when he and the mare are stolen by the enemy, their fearless owner is bent on bringing them back. Period adventure, with Ryan Merriman, Steve Bacic and William MacDonald.

During the heat of battle in the midst of the Civil War, a beguilingly innocent colt is born to Union Jim Rabb's beloved mare. Refusing the orders to shoot it, lest it prove a hindrance, Rabb keeps the colt as a consolation in these desperate times-a symbol of hope that leads the men of the First Cavalry on a journey of self-discovery and newfound brotherhood.
