Two teenagers, haunted in the aftermath of war, free themselves of their ghosts and give Homer new inspiration for his art.
American artist Winslow Homer’s illustrations for Harper’s Weekly magazine earned high praise for their honest portrayal of the Civil War. Discouraged by the horrors he witnessed, Homer abandons his post and heads to the quiet of Houghton Farm to paint.
His peace is soon disturbed by two curious teenagers who are intrigued by the cantankerous artist. Unable to shake them off, he asks theme to be models. As they pose, Gabe and Fee become fast friends telling white lies as they each hide how the war has shattered their own families.
As Homer shares his personal experiences, he urges them to say goodbye to their ghosts and to move forward with their lives. Homer’s new work, "Snap the Whip", reflects the influence of his young friends and his favorite new subject – children.
