The pill plotters fly to London and secretly obtain a dose of RU486. They break British and American laws as they travel back to New York City with the medication—which is immediately taken into custody by U.S. Customs. The stunt makes headlines all over the country. Will Leona be able to get the pills in time? Will the ban stand? Her fate is in the hands of the courts, and one very particular justice.
