Synopsis

At the end of the Civil War, a discharged Confederate soldier travels with a fellow solider to Missouri where his young companion is shot and hung for horse stealing. California decides to take the dead companion's belongings to his family's ranch, where he falls in love with his friend's sister. But then the "ghosts" of the war return in an unexpected way haunting him again.
