Chaos erupts in the US Supreme Court when an assassin guns down six justices as they are hearing a case, sending the nation's highest court into turmoil and deep crisis. Questions soon arise on how the assassin managed to escape the security detection and also smuggle in the gun for the shooting. The FBI begins to look at the possibility of an insider connection. A list of suspects is drawn up, and it includes the wife of the late Chief Justice Kincaid, who was himself mistakenly shot and killed by the Supreme Court police officer in the crossfire. Apparently, Kincaid was firing back at the shooter and he was the only witness to have seen the shooter’s face during the tragedy of Black Wednesday before the assassin made the escape from the courtroom.
