Civil War movie storyline. In a divided America, the President is holed up in the White House, facing off against his people. Determined war photographer Lee Smith and her partner Joel, a seasoned Reuters journalist, set out on a perilous journey to reach Washington, D.C., in a race against time to interview the embattled leader.
Sammy, a veteran journalist for The New York Times, joins them, and young, wide-eyed photographer Jessie from Missouri tags along. Together, they embark on a treacherous odyssey through hostile territory, witnessing the haunting aftermath of the conflict. As they inch closer to the barricaded head of state, the intrepid team confronts escalating violence that tests their resolve to capture the story no matter the cost.
