April 1865. The Civil War ends—but the peace is fragile, and the nation stands at the edge of chaos.
In this first episode of The Ides of April, we explore the days leading to the assassination of Abraham Lincoln. We uncover the towering egos, the desperate plots, and the fractures in a nation struggling to heal. What drove John Wilkes Booth—a celebrity actor and son of a famous family—to transform into an agent of terror? And how did his personal insecurities and extremist beliefs ignite one of the most shocking acts in American history?
