Two formerly inseparable brothers find their close-knit bond violently severed by the horrors of war in this screen adaptation of a William Faulkner tale originally published in a 1942 edition of the Saturday Evening Post. As World War II expands and the United States is inevitably drawn into the heated global conflict, love, loyalty, and duty combine to weave a thought-provoking tale of painful sacrifice and severed family ties.
