The plot is simple. After his girlfriend leaves him, filmmaker Ross McElwee takes a voyage along the original route followed by General William Sherman - but rather than cutting a swath of destruction designed to force the Confederate South into submission, as Sherman did, McElwee searches for love, camera in hand, training his lens with phallic resolve on every accessible woman he meets.
