During the early days of the American Revolution, enterprising young attorney Miles Carlton is disinterested in the rising conflict between his colonial brethren and their British overlords. Pledging loyalty only to the Boston law firm he represents, he chooses to remain impartial to the strife around him to focus on fine-tuning his career and perhaps salvage what once was between himself and his former lover Elizabeth. His plans are disrupted when he is assigned to embark on an expedition to Quebec to retrieve the daughter of a patriot client who has chosen to wed a British officer. Tasked with a mission where the risk far outweighs reward, he can no longer afford to remain unbiased as his journey leads him into the crossfire between the rebels and redcoats. Can a man with no allegiance find it within himself to honor a noble cause, or like the angels who remained neutral during Lucifer's rebellion, is he condemned to stand for nothing?
