GETTYSBURG
Andy and Vince are Civil War buffs who spend their weekends re-enacting battles from the historic conflict with others of a similar persuasion. Vince, a paramedic is usually enlisted as a medic on the Union side. Andy, a sometime carpenter who laments that he never had the chance to see real military action, "plays" a soldier for the Confederacy. On this weekend, they're in Gettysburg for a giant recreation of the war's bloodiest battle when a photographer, Prentice asks to take their picture with his ancient tintype camera. But when the shutter clicks, Andy and Vince find themselves transported back to the Confederate camp of Col. Angus Devine on the eve of the infamous 1863 battle. Prentice, who joins them in the past, explains that he has sent them back as a grand experiment, to see if history can in fact be changed, proving that destiny is not final. Andy, whose Confederate ancestor lead a famous charge at Gettysburg, sees this as an opportunity to help reverse the result of the battle and perhaps of the Civil War itself. But as bullets fly and Col. Devine, who is suffering from viral menengitis, becomes increasing demented, the purpose of their mission becomes evolves into something far darker, and Andy and Vince have to wonder. Are they meant to change the past? Or the future?
