"Copperhead" es diferente a cualquier película de Guerra Civil hasta la fecha. Una historia de las pasiones violentas y disputas candentes que incendiaron el frente durante la Guerra Civil, "Copperhead" es también un examen atemporal y profundamente conmovedora del precio de la disidencia, el lugar del individuo en medio de la histeria de la guerra, y el precio de la terrible guerra. Basada en la novela extraordinaria por Harold Frederic, que el crítico norteamericano Edmund Wilson ha elogiado como un libro valiente y singular que "es fundamentalmente diferente de cualquier otra ficción sobre la Guerra Civil", "Copperhead" es la historia de Abner Haya, un agricultor terco y justo del estado de Nueva York, que desafía a sus vecinos y su gobierno en el otoño sangriento y polémico de 1862.
