The Kennedys

Congressman Jack Kennedy's progression to Washington appears unstoppable. However, when Jacqueline's mother's prophecy that Jack will never be faithful seems true, Joe Sr. tries to solve the problem the only way he knows how.

When the Bay of Pigs invasion proves disastrous, JFK makes a difficult decision he must later atone for.

In August 1961 the Russians move troops into Berlin, though their intentions are unclear. JFK prepares for the possibility that Khrushchev might try to take the city. Bobby announces the formation of the Organized Crime Division. Chicago mobster Sam Giancana is livid about it, and blames Frank Sinatra, who had arranged a meeting between the gangster and Joe Kennedy Sr before the 1960 election.

It is October 1962 and Jack's marriage is a shambles because of his infidelity. There is an impending crisis in the Caribbean - the Soviet Union has placed nuclear missiles on the island of Cuba. Tensions are high, and Jack is being pressured to attack Cuba with the purpose of removing the missiles.
