De ene stamt uit een industrieel geslacht in het Noorden, de andere uit een familie van plantage-eigenaars in het Zuiden. Samen studeren ze aan de militaire academie van West Point en overleven ze, dankzij hun innige vriendschap, de oorlog tussen Mexico en Amerika. Maar hun band krijgt het nog harder te verduren. De kwesties die Noord en Zuid verdelen, eisen ook een hoge tol van hun vriendschap.
