Civil War, 1863. Virginia. Union soldiers Colonel Thomas Rose and Major A. G. Hamilton were captured by the Confederate Army and taken to Libby Prison, one of the most horrific prisons ever run, infamous for its overcrowded, vermin-infested conditions. But neither fear, nor darkness, nor squealing rats could keep Rose and Hamilton from freedom. They and other POWs would fight
against the odds to attempt the largest prison escape in American history.
