On the Eve of Conflict opens in the spring of 1861 just as the Civil War begins and Duane Kinkade's father departs to disappear into the fabric of the distant conflict. During the summer, with his father away, Duane, his mother, his dog Pounder, and his friend Jamie share a season of uneasy calm into a summer of unexpected violence toward a winter of loneliness. Finally, in the spring of 1862, Duane sets out in search of his father whose last letter came from somewhere in western Tennessee. Behind lay his childhood. Ahead lay war. SCREENPLAY
