Synopsis;
Through true accounts, documented in the inquest from the investigation in 1969, the film addresses the scandal and mysterious events surrounding the drowning of Mary Jo Kopechne (Kate Mara) after Ted Kennedy (Jason Clarke) drove his car off the infamous Dike Bridge. Not only did this event take the life of an aspiring political strategist and Kennedy insider, it ultimately changed the course of presidential history, intimately exposing the broad reach of political power, the influence of America's most celebrated family, and the vulnerability of Ted Kennedy, the youngest son, in the shadow of his family legacy.
