Strike Zone

May of 1970. Student protests happening around the country in response to American military expansion into Cambodia during the Vietnam War. A tragic shooting at Kent State University in Ohio, and demonstrations, walk-outs, and student strikes erupt across campuses nationwide.

At a college campus in Southern California, similar protests are taking place, with a young candidate for governor at the school one day in support of student activity and advancing his campaign for California's gubernatorial race. The polls place him in the lead for winning the primary. Violence breaks out during a protest. The national guard is called in. During the chaos, the candidate is shot and killed.

But there are questions. Was this merely an accident, a progressive young politician caught in the crossfire? Or was there something more? A conspiracy? A cover up? A mysterious gunman?

Alan Madison, Theresa McKinley, and Reginald Moore are hired by the candidate's family to investigate, and are drawn into a web of politics, drama, hardcore action, and danger. From the archives of The Madison-McKinley Files, Ariel Archer presents... Strike Zone!
