An academically gifted ninth grader with a major crush on President John Kennedy is devastated by his death on the same day she stages a brutal retaliation against the girl who has been bullying her. Meanwhile, the girl’s uncle, who, unknown to anybody but Lee Harvey Oswald, is a conspirator in the president’s killing, comes for a surprise visit.
Following the assassination of President Kennedy, a bright ninth grader prone to acts of violence fears that her beloved uncle may be involved with the crime.
After JFK is assassinated, a 13-year-old girl begins to suspect that her uncle may have had a part to play in the murder, leading her to investigate and choose whether to keep the cycle of familial violence going or break it.
