A dream team of famous attorneys converges on an Idaho courtroom in 1907. Idaho’s best lawyers — James Hawley and William Borah — matched wits with Chicago’s Clarence Darrow and Denver’s Edmund Richardson. Reenactments chronicle the trial of William D. “Big Bill” Haywood, accused of masterminding former Gov. Frank Steunenburg’s assassination.
