22-year-old Elma Sands is found murdered in the Manhattan Well on January 2nd, 1800. Her lover, wealthy and well-connected Levi Weeks, is accused of the barbaric offense.

 

Weeks brings in the nation’s best legal defense team -- Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr -- to clear his name while a pandemic-stricken New York City buzzes with scandal.​ This 6-episode audiodrama unfolds over the unbelievable 2-day trial that laid the sexist foundations of today’s justice system.

 

Through flashbacks and testimony in modernized language, Erased  magnifies the story of Elma's cousin Catherine Ring (Allison Williams) - the 27-year-old Quaker woman who took on the nation’s best legal team (Tony Goldwyn, Barry Scheck) to preserve Elma’s name.
