The Griffith Chronicles

History roared with the crack of a gunshot on April 4th, 1968. Locked away, a 16-year-old boy saw his chance and ran. Escaping a Nevada reformatory for possession of drugs. He jumped a freight train, oblivious to the echoes of gunfire changing the nation.

One hitch on a desolate highway, a passing Mustang, and a stranger who becomes his lifeline... and his curse. With promises of a new life. His flight from prison is transformed into a twisted journey fueled by lies and manipulation as the young man is lured across the border into Mexico, then back to Los Angeles. His destination: the Ambassador Hotel, a name that will soon echo with a second fatal gunshot.

Is he just a runaway, or is he being groomed for a role in the shadows of history? The boy finds himself trapped--groomed for a sinister purpose he can barely grasp and never saw coming.

63 Days between two assassinations that changed history and a young man’s strange odyssey.
