It’s a cold dark December evening, and William and George Younger are arguing over election fraud, the current culture war, human trafficking, “States’ rights”, and the Electoral College which threaten to tear apart America. However, this is not 2024, it is 1860 and the prospect of war looms on the horizon.

Faced with the potential of armed rebellion following the “fraudulent” 1860 election of Abraham Lincoln, Congressional halls down to local taverns and homes, America searches for an answer to an increasingly divided nation. As war clouds gather, William and George must decide what to believe and what path they must follow.

One argues for tolerance and peace, the other: armed rebellion. With each carrying diverging beliefs, yet a love that binds together a father and son, they enlist with the Confederacy in America’s Civil War and fight shoulder-to-shoulder in Kentucky’s notorious Orphan Brigade.

Amidst the chaos of the Civil War, one follows a conventional approach to soldiering, where the other takes a more subversive, anarchic, and lethal path. Whispers of a Mockingbird is an emotionally resonant and spellbinding story of a soldier’s search for truth and the hard decisions one must make following a loss of innocence.
