Plot

Set in 1963, in Dallas, Texas, Lurene Hallett (Michelle Pfeiffer), a housewife is devoting herself to the actions and activities done by First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy (Rhoda Griffis). Knowing that President John F. Kennedy and his wife will be arriving in Dallas, she goes to the airport to greet the couple, but fails. She then drives through the Dallas streets and notices a quiet chaos developing, only to find out that the President is shot a few hours after she sees him arrive in the Dallas motorcade. Ignoring her husband Ray's (Brian Kerwin) prohibition, she wants to attend the funeral in Washington, D.C. and travel by bus. During her journey, she befriends Jonell (Stephanie McFadden), the young black daughter of Paul Carter (Dennis Haysbert). Sensing something wrong, her good intentioned interference has led them to an increasingly difficult journey to Washington with both the police and Ray in pursuit, in time for the President funeral.
