plot:

In November 1963, Dallas housewife Lurene Hallett (Michelle Pfeiffer) is obsessed with First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy. Knowing that President John F. Kennedy and his wife will be visiting Dallas, she goes to try and catch a glimpse of the couple. Driving away a few hours later, she notices a quiet chaos developing, and discovers that the President has been assassinated. Ignoring her overbearing husband Ray (Brian Kerwin), she travels by bus to attend the funeral in Washington, D.C. During her journey, she befriends Jonell (Stephanie McFadden), the young black daughter of Paul Cater (Dennis Haysbert). Sensing something is wrong, her well-intentioned interference leads them on an increasingly difficult road trip across America with both the police and Ray in pursuit.
