It is the early 1960s. Glendora, California. Along with the country, the city holds its breath between the two most shocking assassinations of the 20th century: Kennedy and King. Shortly before Kennedy's assassination, Joshua Crass suffers from an adverse reaction to penicillin. The six-year-old boy wakes from a coma with no recollection of his parents, his brother, or anyone else in his life. He embarks on a journey to discover who he was, who he is and who he's going to be, but a wall of forgotten memories blocks his path. After King's assassination, he joins the ranks of his textbook heroes to face head on his greatest fear of all, death, only to discover that sometimes the past is better left forgotten.
