Son Of A Gun

Nearly a decade after the Civil War, Dr. Capers recounts a legend he sent to a medical journal about a Union soldier's magic bullet causing a virgin birth. As the tale unfolds, it's clear he invented parts to shield a young woman and her child from the era's racial prejudice. Through war-torn flashbacks, the deeper truth of the child's mixed-race parentage emerges, revealing the doctor's struggle to balance truth with compassion in a divided South.
