The book recounts the dramatic events following a 1970 bank robbery by antiwar activists, which resulted in a police officer's death. While three men were captured, two women became fugitives, eventually joining a lesbian collective in Kentucky. The FBI's extensive manhunt led to the arrest of five women and one man, who resisted federal pressure, sparking national attention and a movement within minority communities. Through judicial transcripts and interviews, the author reveals this significant yet overlooked chapter in LGBTQ and feminist history, highlighting themes of resistance and community.
