Do you know what day it was the day after The Civil War ended? It was Passover, 1865. Caleb, a young Confederate soldier, returns to his family home in Richmond, Virginia. The house is in ruins, but Caleb discovers Simon, his former slave, occupying the house. As Simon begins an improvised Passover Seder, Caleb and John, another former slave, celebrate with him. Deep questions arise as the parallels between the Exodus from Egypt align with Simon and John's newly found freedom.
