Description

In Boston, Paul Revere etches out a humble living as a silversmith. Americans and British alike hail the exquiste artistry of his work. But when Paul's revolutionary friends, John Hancock and Samuel Adams pressure Revere to take a stand against British tyranny and join the Sons of Liberty, he worries that supporting the cause of revolution would mean losing his business and risking the safety of his family. Revere must make a choice to do what is easy, or to do what is right.
