In the pastoral landscapes of Northumberland, Edward MacFell rules his farm with a twisted iron fist, doling out pain and humiliation to his kin and laborers alike. His cruel reign culminates in an orchestrated murder, masked as an unfortunate accident. The silent witness to the crime is Charlie, Edward's meek son, whose loyalty to a friend and pursuit of justice leads him to safeguard the killer's identity. Yet, another observer lurks in the shadows — Ginger Slater, a resentful farmhand, intent on turning this secret into an instrument of blackmail. Thrust into a calamitous marriage with the capricious beauty Victoria Chapman, Charlie remains oblivious to the affections of her sister Nellie, who secretly harbors feelings for him.

Driven to the brink by his sister's constant nagging and his wife's chronic infidelity, Charlie exchanges his farm life for the battlefield, unknowingly placing himself under the command of a familiar nemesis — Sergeant Ginger Slater. In this riveting saga, the tranquility of rural life gives way to sinister family secrets, warped loyalties, and the horrors of war, all intertwined in the dramatic narrative of 'The Cinder Path.'
