The Civil War is nearly twenty years in the past, Reconstruction has been crushed in the South, and the Gilded Age is bringing unprecedented prosperity to some, along with radical social and class conflicts. At a tiny college in upstate New York, an idealistic young professor has managed to convince Mark Twain, Frederick Douglass, Herman Melville, Walt Whitman, Harriet Beecher Stowe, Confederate memoirist Forrest Taylor, and romance novelist Lucy Comstock to participate in the first (and last) Auburn Writers' Conference for a public discussion about the future of the nation. Over the course of a weekend this already combustible mix is heated up by a group of Suffragists advocating for women's rights, a contingent of die-hard Confederate sympathizers, an apocalyptic street-corner preacher, and a muckraking journalist who stirs the pot in hopes of bringing things to a boil.
