Plot
In 1940, Charles Lindbergh, a legendary aviator and outrageous isolationist, was elected president to replace Franklin Roosevelt. Shortly thereafter, he concludes a non-intervention and non-aggression pact with Adolf Hitler, while the new government begins a program of popular anti-Semitism. For one boy growing up in Newark, Lindbergh's election as president means the destruction of his small and safe corner of America. And along with him and the lives of his mother, father and older brother.
