Synopsis

When the First Minister of the Bajoran Provisional Government dies, Kai Winn is appointed to his duties and about to be formally elected. Winn asks Kira to speak with farmers from her home province who are still holding soil reclamators that Winn needs for Bajor's recovery efforts in Rakantha Province. Their leader, Shakaar, also led Kira's resistance cell during the Cardassian occupation. When the powerful Winn attempts to arrest Shakaar, Kira defends him, and becomes a fugitive. This time, however, the enemies are fellow Bajorans.
