May 1881, a disgruntled man stalks the president from the shadows down Pennsylvania Avenue. Disheveled and unpopular, Charles Guiteau allows his delusions of grandeur to lead him into committing the terrible murder of President James Garfield. This first episode of a three part series gives us a peek into the psychology of a madman and the forgotten legacy of a president.
