In 1969 Federal prosecutor Richard Schultz (Creator/JosephGordonLevitt) is bluntly ordered against his advice by the new Attorney General of the UsefulNotes/RichardNixon Administration to make examples of a group of leftist troublemakers for their supposed role in causing trouble in Chicago in 1968.
As for those defendants, they are divided into multiple camps, with three being moderates like Tom Hayden, Rennie Davis, and David Dellinger, and the radical Yippies of Abbie Hoffman and Jerry Rubin.

Along the way, the defendants eventually find that for all their philosophical difference about political activism, they all have their own faults and ideals they can respect.
