Poss: Tension created during the moment before a decision is made, a tune has begun, or history shifts.Fusion band, Ruby Slipper, just weeks away from a recording contract, is stunned by the death of their trumpet player and leader, Steve Bradshaw, at the U.S. Embassy in Saigon during the Tet offensive. His replacement, a maverick McCarthy supporter, causes more problems than he solves.While the band decides how to move on, Steve's sister, comfortable with her choices up to now, must do the same. Susan Bradshaw is committed to the band, and reluctantly, this new member. She owns the Lawrence, Kansas farm house where the band lives, and her long-time boyfriend is the trombonist, but she's planning a career of her own in photojournalism. When she uncovers a troubling stash of her grandmother's World War I photos, letters and a YMCA entertainer diary, she's both inspired and disturbed by their surprising content.Ruby Slipper lands in Chicago during the 1968 Democratic Convention just as Susan discovers a connection between her grandmother's fifty-year-old secret correspondence and her brother's death. Against the backdrop of riots and emotional crisis, she must reconcile her family's history, and get past Poss, to decide her own future.
