1. Where is Lee Harvey Oswald's body?

The Kennedy assassination is a rat's nest of conspiracy theories: mafia involvement, the second gunman, government cover-up... but the most important chapter of this sordid tale may just be the theory that the body buried at Oswald's Rose Hill gravesite is not actually Lee Harvey himself.

Meet the ragtag group of "useful idiots" who are unwittingly brought together to clean up the crime of the century - a wannabe cowboy from Wisconsin, a Buddy Holly-idolizing (former) car thief, a world-weary Civil Rights activist ready for revolution, and a failed G-Man who still acts the part - and specifically, regarding the matter of Oswald's body.

For fans of Department of Truth and Time Before Time comes an off-kilter crime thriller set in the shadows of history's greatest conspiracy by Eisner Award-nominated writer, producer, and director Christopher Cantwell (Iron Man, The United States of Captain America) and artist Luca Casalanguida (Lost Soldiers, Scout's Honor).

2. The day before JFK is assassinated, our four "useful idiots" have-against all odds-found a damn good lookalike candidate for Lee Harvey Oswald. Some poor bastard named Sonny Germs from Dallas.

The only problem is now they have to kidnap... and kill him, which wasn't part of the deal.

As Lee makes his way downtown, the unlucky four find themselves in a chase into Dallas. What happens if they catch Sonny, and what does it mean for Lee's plans on the fateful day, November 22, 1963?

3. After learning that Sonny Germs is the double for the suspected assassin, our crew tails Oswald's police escort to the station...where Oswald is surprisingly shot upon leaving.

Later, the four follow his ambulance and gain access to his body to do the switch.

But after realizing how seamless the process was, they question who Frank works for, and how high up it all goes...

4. A shadowy figure awaits the forensic results of Lee Harvey Oswald's supposed body, while our four-now five-are waylaid in Texas on their way to Louisiana, with the risk of capture adding to their already tense situation.

The four are increasingly bothered by their fifth wheel, and contemplate what to do about him, but when one of them answers that question, they'll all have no choice but to face their fates one way or another.

5. FINAL ISSUE!

Our cast arrive in Terlingua, Texas, looking to flee to Mexico, all the while wondering if they've been the good guys in all this, doing their patriotic duty, and whether they should stay and fight after all.

But with Frank and a hired killer to deal with, will there be any second chances? And just who is the shadowed figure overlooking Oswald's exhumation in 1981?
