Spoilers ahead
Ron Kobeleski, an unemployed cameraman living a life of monotony, finds his world turned upside down when he learns a shocking secret from his reclusive neighbor, Walter Ohlinger. Walter, a retired Marine facing terminal cancer, confesses that he, rather than Lee Harvey Oswald, was the one who fired the fatal shot that assassinated President John F. Kennedy in Dallas, Texas on November 22, 1963. This revelation sends Kobeleski into a tailspin, as he discovers that the conspiracy theory surrounding a second shooter on the grassy knoll holds a startling grain of truth—Ohlinger is claiming to be that gunman. In support of his startling declaration, Ohlinger shows Kobeleski a spent casing from the rifle he allegedly used, leaving the cameraman both intrigued and bewildered.
