Jennie Lee Lawrence is a plantation owner's daughter when the Revolutionary War reaches Charleston in 1780. The war destroys families and friendships and when the city is occupied, Jennie makes a daring midnight ride to warn her sweetheart who is a Patriot spy. He is also the son of her overseer, an alliance that would not have been possible before the war. On the other hand, Jennie's sister marries a Loyalist boy who would previously have been acceptable to the family but now is not.
