Howard Mechanic, a Shaker native, found his life changed forever on the evening of May 4, 1970. He never dreamed that his presence at an anti-war rally would lead to his false arrest on federal charges and turn him into a fugitive for nearly 30 years. In 2000, at age 52, he would finally surrender to authorities to begin serving an open-ended sentence.

Adapted from Fugitive Candidate: The Autobiography of Howard Mechanic, the Last Prisoner of the Vietnam War, the play examines how on idealist struggles to stay whole while trying to reclaim his freedom and his good name.
