A new job, a brutal murder, and Camelot has ended.


In 1963, Dot Morgan's life was changed forever. She witnessed the assassination of John F Kennedy through the lens of her boxy Kodak Instamatic camera, bringing traumatic aftereffects of the brutality that happened as they stood on the parade route in Dallas.


She starts her first real secretarial job with a boss who has no sympathy for her trauma. When Dot's only work friend has a mysterious accident at a demolition site, she digs around on her own only to find very little love between two brothers and no one hammering out justice to find a murderer.


The suspects are all around Dot and as she tries to sift through their motives, her cousin Ellie is going through PTSD on her own, losing interest in work, and her fiancé all the while quoting some of JFK's finest speeches.


With so much change in her world, can Dot still tell the difference between good and evil?
