Storyline: In the wake of Abraham Lincoln's assassination, seven men and one woman are arrested and charged with conspiring to kill the leader, the Vice-President, and the Secretary of State. The lone woman charged, Mary Surratt, 42, owns a boarding house somewhere John Wilkes Booth and others met and planned the simultaneous attacks. Against the ominous back-drop of post-Civil War Washington, newly-minted lawyer, Frederick Aiken, a 28-year-old Union war-hero, reluctantly agrees to defend Surratt before a military tribunal. As the trial unfolds, Aiken realizes his client may be blameless and that she is human being used as bait and hostage in order to arrest the only conspirator to have escaped a massive manhunt, her own son.
