It is March of 1968, and it had been five years since the JFK assassination. Jim Roberts is hiding inside his stately stone and stucco Tudor mansion in the center of a three-acre estate in Muncie, Indiana. He had discovered the names of the John F. Kennedy assassins in a "bombshell" discovery of classified information while working inside the CIA as an eavesdropping technician. He is eventually found-out, forced to run, change his name, and hide from the conspirators who want him dead. The erudite, eccentric and philosophical Landlord indoctrinates his new renters in philosophy, politics and war, and leaks a riddle about a rogue counterintelligence plot to murder a politician. The renters, Gus, Joe and Ted, are college graduates and celebrating the summer for not yet being drafted into the Vietnam War. They are entertained by "The Landlord" but stunned by the prophetic and uncanny timing of his riddle of conspiracy theories. The Landlord befriends Gus, and offers his in-depth philosophy of human values, women and assits him in trying to find his lost love. Ultimately, The Landlord must disclose his knowledge of the crime of the century to Gus as a final testimonial of truth before the assassins find him.
