In JFK’s America, halfway between spy thriller and noir novel, the
tragic road-movie of a father and his son, revolving around a
mysterious list that everyone’s willing to kill for. 1961, Illinois.
Alex Poliac buries his wife Alice. That evening, he and his son flee
their home. Not because he is a suspect in Alice’s death, but because
a serial killer – The Clown – is prowling the state, and Alex knows
how he picks his victims. A rough meeting with Laura, a friend of his
wife, brings more questions: was Alice hiding something, with her
mysterious phone calls and unexplained absences? Was her death really
an accident?
