Synopsis
Unemployed reporter Ron Kobeleski is approached by his dying next door neighbor, Walter Ohlinger, with the shocking revelation that he was the mystery second gunman in the assassination of JFK. As Ohlinger tries to prove his story to the reporter, Kobeleski struggles to understand whether his cold and calculating demeanour is one of a trained assassin or a delusional psychotic creating a web of lies. This documentary-style film chills to the core, taking you on a curious journey from an interview with a fellow ex-marine who served with Ohlinger in the Bay of Pigs, to the mysterious death of the man who apparently gave him the fateful order. How can this dying man prove to the world that he killed JFK — and will he kill again?
