When we last left the story we had skipped back in time to meet John Wilkes Booth’s co-conspirators - Lewis Powell (who changed his name to Lewis Payne), David Harold, George Azerodt, and John Surratt. These men had each found their way into Booth’s plans years earlier, and they had stuck with him through multiple failed attempts to kidnap the president.

We will now jump back into that bloody night of April 14th and follow the fate of these would-be killer's and their targets (which included other members of Lincoln's cabinet) as the rest of the events of the night played out with dramatic results.
