It's November 22, 1963. JFK is in Texas on a political trip, hoping to mend fences with Southern Democrats. His motorcade is set to roll through the streets of Dallas. The people are hyped, lining the roads to catch a glimpse of the man leading the free world.

But lurking in the shadows is Lee Harvey Oswald, a former Marine with a fascination for communism and a rifle in his hands. He's about to change the course of history from a sixth-floor window of the Texas School Book Depository.
