In the summer of 1968, Rose sets off for the United States from
Kentish Town; in her suitcase a polka-dot dress and a one-way
ticket. Together with the sinister man known only as Washington
Harold, she goes in search of the charismatic and elusive Dr
Wheeler - the man Rose credits with rescuing her from a terrible
childhood, and against whom Harold nurses a silent grudge. As the
odd couple journey across an America on the brink of paranoid
disintegration, their journey mirrors that of Robert Kennedy's
presidential campaign. As they draw ever closer to the elusive Dr
Wheeler, one hot day in June at the Ambassador Hotel in LA, their
search finally reaches its terrible climax.
