Synopsis:

Six men unwittingly walk the fine line that separates comrades from enemies in this historical drama. In 1864, as the Civil War continues to ravage the American South, a three-day skirmish known as the Battle of the Wilderness rages in Virginia. After a long day of fighting, three weary Confederate soldiers - Harrison Bolding (Brian J. Merrick), James Hogg (Terry Jernigan), and After Stand Kennerly (Aaron Jackson) - become separated from their company and find themselves lost in the woods after nightfall. As they set up camp for the night, they're joined by three other fighting men, John Sunderlin (DJ Perry), Augustus Elliot (Curtis Hall), and Pietro Brolo (Mark Lacy), who have also lost their way, and the six soldiers spend the night sharing their meager rations and telling stories. When they awake the next morning, the men make a startling discovery - in the darkness, the Confederates were unable to tell that their guests were Union soldiers, causing all six men to look upon their actions with suspicion and fear. Wicked Spring was the first narrative feature for director Kevin R. Hershberger.

During the 1864 battle of the Wilderness, three Union soldiers and three Confederate Soldiers get seperated from their units as twilight engulfs the ravaged battlefield. The men wander alone through the dangerous woods, separate of each other, until they meet by chance on the banks of a quiet creek. The men meet and spend the night around a campfire, not realizing they are enemies until the next morning when the sun rises and a new day of battle begins.

The story unfolds over a single, horrifying night...six soldiers lost in the wicked, burning woods during the 1864 Battle of the Wilderness. In the moonlight, they do not realize they are enemies until the next morning when the sun rises and exposes their dangerous mistake. Wicked Spring strips away the facade of grand battles and kingly generals to reveal the struggles and strengths of the common Civil War soldier. This picture is the perfect blend of Hollywood cinema and strong independent film allegory. No one has seen an idependent epic guite like this.
