You just stayed loyal—to the king, the crown, the world you thought would endure. And for that, you lost everything.In this slow, immersive journey, we follow the quiet unraveling of a Loyalist during the American Revolution. No glory. No recognition. Just confiscated land, public humiliation, and the kind of exile that erases your name one generation at a time.This is not the story they celebrate on the Fourth of July.
