Set against the backdrop of 19th-century America, the story delves into the tumultuous life of Mary Lincoln after the assassination of her husband, Abraham Lincoln. Following the death of her son Tad, her intense grief leads to erratic behavior, resulting in her commitment to an asylum by her son, Robert. The public trial captivates the nation, revealing deep-seated biases against her character. Subsequent debates arise over her mental state, questioning whether her commitment was justified or a result of familial manipulation, highlighting themes of grief, societal judgment, and the complexities of mental health.
