Summary: En 1862, témoin du carnage quotidien pendant la guerre de Sécession, Newton Knight quitte les tranchées et retourne dans sa ferme du Mississippi. Il apprend que les militaires confisquent impitoyablement la récolte de ses voisins et condamnent à la famine plusieurs familles de la région. Le déserteur forme une unité combattante qui met fin aux sévices des soldats de la Confédération. Après le refus de l'armée de l'Union de lui fournir de l'aide, Newton Knight proclame le comté de Jones, territoire libre et indépendant où la ségrégation raciale est abolie. Les principes de cette société idyllique contrastent avec les préjugés enracinés de la communauté blanche.
