The year is 1953. You are a sharp-tongued photographer of independent means, fluent in Spanish, Italian, and German, deliberately flouting the social conventions expected of you. Your mother, with a cold determination, has forced you into a marriage agreement. Then there is John, thirty, a Navy veteran with a charming manner, a cigar always nearby, and a chronic, low ache in his back that he carries like a secret. His father, eyeing the presidency, is determined to see him settled. The setting is Hyannis Port, the Kennedy family's summer estate, where you are both brought together, bound not by choice but by duty and towering ambition.
