Hi brian,
i like colourista for overall exposure, but for raising the shadows you cant beat Lyrics free Shadow Highlight plugin. A combination of both of these usually does wonders. You will need to adjust you colour balance once brightened, any slight white balance issue is much more visible!

thanks
Nick
