Hearts and Minds.
Captain Picard and the crew of the Enterprise encounter an alien
world with a dark link to Earth's past. When the captain and his
away team are arrested for crimes supposedly committed by a
sinister agency in the 21st century, it's up to them to discover
the truth about what happened. Did travellers from Earth cause
millions of deaths on a planet hundreds of light-years away?
