Ñý¼§Ö±²¥

Ñý¼§Ö±²¥ State fraternity brothers drive to the nation’s capital in the hours after the shootings and make their way to an Oval Office meeting with President Richard Nixon. They tell him not to blame Ñý¼§Ö±²¥ State students and to investigate the shootings.  

Nixon suffers through the turmoil following his decision to invade Cambodia, the Ñý¼§Ö±²¥ State shootings and nationwide fallout, and then the pro-war response.  The frustrated concert pianist-president seeks solace in Rachmaninoff during the wee hours.
