Synopsis

October 1959: John F. Kennedy huddles with his brother Bobby and a few confidantes in Hyannisport, plotting his 1960 run at the presidency. A continent away, in the small town of Yuba City, California, Alex Rodgers, a budding jazz pianist and aspiring writer, contemplates his future after high school. Meanwhile, his sister Allison, prompted by her slightly crazy civics teacher, wants to become the youngest delegate to the Democratic National Convention in Los Angeles, pledged to Kennedy. Events during the summer of 1960 force Alex to grow up. In rapid succession he falls hard for a new girlfriend, reels from the death of one of his best friends, loses his favorite English teacher and staunchest supporter, discovers a dark family secret, and is persuaded by Allison to go with her to the convention. John Kennedys campaign for the presidency takes over their lives as she works to fulfill a pledge made on network television that shes going to help Kennedy carry the election in
