Against orders, a soldier rides home against orders to deliver the terrible news: a fortress once considered invincible has fallen, and their defenders have fled. He delivers an impassioned call to action, daring the villagers to stand up for themselves. Reconnecting with his community involves reconsidering why he left it, and what he might regret having left behind; but he soon faces scrutiny when they realize something about his appeal doesn't add up. Each villager reconciles themselves with what they intend to do and why. But even if their truth, their skills, and their efforts enable them to resist, can a hastily-prepared volunteer militia of farmers defeat a battalion of trained soldiers?
