Synopsis

In Mehitab Wing, the narrative is set in the summer of 1766 in the Hudson Valley, where a small courthouse in Poughkeepsie is filled with anxious farmers. The trial of William Prendergast, an Irish-born farmer, is underway, and he faces grave charges of high treason, including inciting rebellion against the Crown. His wife, Mehittable, a Quaker woman, is determined to stand by him, believing in his innocence and the righteousness of their cause. The courtroom atmosphere is charged with tension as the King's counsel prepares to present their case.
