It is 1958, and President Joseph McCarthy sits in the White House, and he enforces his will through a secret police force. A Holocaust survivor, LAPD detective Morris Baker is called to the scene of a double?homicide. The victims are John Huston, a once?promising film director, and up?and?coming young journalist Walter Cronkite. A note in one of their hands connects the crime somehow to Baker's own past, and in this revisionist thriller, he stumbles into a conspiracy that reaches deep into the halls of power.
