During the 1968 Democratic National Convention, a planned demonstration turns violent, leading to clashes between protesters and police. Seven activists, known for their counterculture views and leadership in the anti-Vietnam War movement, are subsequently charged with conspiracy. Their trial becomes a high-profile legal battle, testing the boundaries of free speech and challenging the government's response to dissent during a time of significant social unrest.
