Sharon Solarz, former member of the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weather_Underground Weather Underground]], turns herself in for her part in a bank robbery in Michigan in the 1970's that resulted in the shooting death of a guard. When IntrepidReporter Ben Shepherd investigates further, he discovers James Grant, a lawyer who refused to take Solarz's case, is actually Nick Sloan, a suspected accomplice in the robbery. This forces Sloan to go on the run, abandoning his daughter Izzie to the care of his brother Daniel while he tries to find the one person who may be able to clear his name. As Shepherd and the FBI pursue Sloan, Shepherd finds out there's a lot more to the story than he thought there was.
