β¦ Synopsis
Ordinary Heroes recreates the sights, sounds and textures of a world gone by - a world of freedom, innocence and mystery - where boys leave home at 6:00 in
the morning and return home for dinner - a world of sleep outs and midnight escapades.
14 year old Randy's life begins as a near-death experience. But - cerebral palsy aside - by 1959, he loves Sandra Dee, Sandy Koufax, the Dodgers, Wolfman
Jack - and a girl named Daisy Clover - in that order.
Things begin to pop when the boys poke around the crumbling Jefferson place and discover perplexing evidence - pointing to something very different than
the official version of their neighborhood hero's death - confusing clues, threatening notes, phone calls - and violence. If 19 year old Scotty Jefferson's
death is an "open and shut, police slam dunk" - why all the fuss?
Ordinary Heroes salutes the goodness of boys everywhere!
