Description:
San Francisco, 1972. Richard Nixon has just won his second term in office. Jack Costello, a precocious 11-year-old, is sure that the President will be around another four years; he's not sure his family will last that long. At the epicenter of change for a generation, an unlikely cast of characters converges: Jack's inexplicable parents, the hippies next door, a sister who can never grow up, and an ill-tempered pet monkey. Inspired by the Watergate hearings on TV, Jack buys a listening device, and uncovers an adult world at least as confusing as his own.
