In 1777, a young girl witnessed Betsy Ross stitch the first American flag and carried a fragment of it in her locket until her passing. Centuries later, in 1941, the locket is unearthed, and from its sacred thread, the spirit of the nation—USA—awakens. Armed with a magic flag and a torch of liberty, she takes up the cause to inspire those still loyal to old empires, showing them the true meaning of freedom.
