Set against the backdrop of the Civil War, the narrative follows Confederate spies in Canada who devise a daring plan to incite chaos in New York City by igniting it on the day after Thanksgiving in 1864. A group of rebel officers, former Union prisoners seeking refuge, infiltrate the city under false identities. Their plot ultimately fails due to a critical oversight involving a chemical reaction that demands oxygen, highlighting both their desperation and the stakes of the war.
