We meet the mastermind behind the pill plot, a wealthy gadfly named Larry Lader. He builds a team of fixers who will help search for the “Jane Roe for the 1990s.” A wild goose chase ensues as the team scrambles to find the right person—a pregnant woman who is willing to put herself, and her freedom, on the line. They almost give up hope, when a Bay Area anarchist punk comes forward.
