Frustrated with the lack of progress, a group of rebels led by Samuel Adams and John Hancock return to Boston to rally more supporters. They succeed in recruiting more soldiers, but also stir up fear and anger among the British loyalists in the city.
Meanwhile, George Washington and his army face a difficult decision as they attempt to defend New York City from the British forces. The odds are not in their favor, and many of the soldiers are hesitant to fight. Washington must use all his leadership skills to inspire and motivate his troops to continue fighting for their cause.
