On April 19, 1995, a bomb exploded outside a federal government building in Oklahoma City, plunging the city into chaos as first responders rush to help.
Immediately after the explosion, the site is evacuated due to fears of more bombs and rescue efforts are suspended. As the country reels from the shock, the FBI launches a nationwide manhunt to find the perpetrators.
As the nation mourns with the people of Oklahoma, many struggle to come to terms with the fact that the bomber is an American veteran who appears to show no remorse. As the trial begins, the government seeks the death penalty.
