Violent protests erupt in the South over desegregation, prompting President JFK to take decisive action. Meanwhile, Jackie struggles with her reliance on amphetamines, and Joe Sr. experiences a stroke. "Jack and Jackie Kennedy were often viewed as America’s royal couple. They embodied grace and charm, yet beneath their polished exterior lay a more complex and troubled reality." - Director Jon Cassar
