Before Dallas (2026)

Using close friend Frank Sinatra as a go-between, the Kennedys elicit a favor from Chicago Mafia boss Sam Giancana to flip the union vote in favor of JFK - in return for future protection from government prosecution. But favors turn into betrayal when the newly appointed Attorney General (brother Bobby) declares war on the American Mafia. The story climaxes with the mysterious death of JFK's mistress Marilyn Monroe in Los Angeles - and then an elaborate plan to assassinate President Kennedy in Chicago in the fall of '62...one year before Dallas. Based on the novel Princes and Thieves by Vito Brancato.
