Among them is Mary Surratt, the only woman charged, who runs the boarding house where the plot was planned. A young Union war hero, Frederick Aiken, is reluctantly assigned to be her defense lawyer. He initially believes in her guilt but begins to suspect that she is being used as a pawn to capture her son, the actual suspect who has escaped.
