Ordinary Heroes recreates the sights, sounds and textures of a world gone by – a world of freedom, innocence and mystery – where boys leave home at 6:00 in

the morning and return home for dinner – a world of sleep outs and midnight escapades.


14 year old Randy's life begins as a near-death experience. But – cerebral palsy aside – by 1959, he loves Sandra Dee, Sandy Koufax, the Dodgers, Wolfman

Jack – and a girl named Daisy Clover – in that order.


Things begin to pop when the boys poke around the crumbling Jefferson place and discover perplexing evidence – pointing to something very different than

the official version of their neighborhood hero's death – confusing clues, threatening notes, phone calls – and violence. If 19 year old Scotty Jefferson's

death is an "open and shut, police slam dunk" – why all the fuss?


Ordinary Heroes salutes the goodness of boys everywhere!
