Cold Mountain tells the story of Inman, a wounded soldier, gets up out of what his doctors thought was
his death bed, and begins the long, hard walk to his home in his North Carolina on Cold Mountain. Waiting there
for him is Ada, the sweetheart he left behind to go to war, trying to hold onto the farm of her deceased
missionary father, with the help of scrappy drifter Ruby. Inman's long journey takes him through the crumbling
confederacy, as he meets people of all walks of life who want to both aid and hinder his mission. Cold Mountain
is set as the Civil War reaches its final days, and tells the story of Ada and Ruby's friendship, and Inman's journey
home.
