Delving into the darkness of the American dream, viewers are transported to the world of 1960s Texas as Jake explores the mystery surrounding the supposed gunman Lee Harvey Oswald (Daniel Webber), his family and associates. But Jake’s mission faces threats not only from Oswald, but from Sadie Dunhill (Sarah Gadon), a beautiful librarian he falls in love with, and from the Past itself … which doesn’t want to be changed. And if the Past doesn’t want to be changed, it will push back…often violently.
