As the Vietnam War heats up, two sons of a widowed southern farmer choose divergent paths: the older son enlists and fights overseas, while the younger son dodges the draft by running to Canada. Based on the parable, this 20th century retelling focuses on two brothers divided by ideology in the name of what is right, and the redeeming power of their father's love.
