In the 1990's the war on drugs was in full swing. The front lines were often America's inner cities where gangs use violence and murder to rule their empires.

Terrorist bombings are what happen in other countries. Not here in the United States. And yet, in 1993, it happened in New York City.

When the small community of Noel, Missouri discovered their bank was robbed, they're shocked. When the bank president turned up missing, they're outraged. And when clues began to surface the facts were more terrible than anyone could have guessed.

The sun set on the Wild West long ago, but some people refused to notice. Claude Dallas was one of them. A wily trapper, Dallas typified the rugged individualism that forged this country. He went too far when he killed two game wardens in 1981.

In the early 1990's, Washington, D.C., became the murder capital of the nation. Few were left untouched by gang violence, which was ignited by the drug trade. By 1994, that violence would strike at the very heart of law enforcement.

In Pennsylvania, an inmate escaped with the help of his female accomplice. Following a trail of fraudulent credit card receipts and deaths, authorities track the pair, but always find themselves one step behind.
