Synopsis
This riveting recreation of the 24 hours surrounding the death of President Abraham Lincoln is a thrilling and detailed chronicle of the plot, murder and manhunt that changed America forever. To avenge the Confederacy's "noble cause," John Wilkes Booth conspires with his motley followers and aspires to a place in history as a great man. The weary Lincoln, longing for a just peace, meets with his Cabinet and steals precious time with his family and dreams. Minute by minute, killer and victim edge closer to the burst of gunfire at Ford's Theatre that stopped Lincoln's heart and the country's soul.
