SummaryIn August 1965, a car bomb detonated outside a Bronx diner. As debris rained down, hundreds of snapshots fluttered through the smoke. One photo captured the truth of the moment: graffiti scrawled on a tenement wall- America v America Outcome Uncertain That is the world of Burn Everything…Then Forget It. At its center: Viola Dash and Billy Castle - a girl born into privilege and a boy marked forever by the subway killing of his mother. Their love story becomes the pulse of a nation on the edge, in a year when idealism collided with the misguided pursuers of power and political control. Corruption was more than just social hearsay, it was a disease. Treachery hid behind polite façades, and duplicity arrived packaged as patriotism. Viola and Billy each carry a secret inheritance: fathers whose shared, covert careers served the darkest ambitions of the nation. And now it is their children who stand in the way - Viola for what she knows, Billy for what he refuses to forget. Burn Everything…Then Forget It seeks to reframe America's legacy of racism, covert violence, and social manipulation - and to give voice to a generation raised on hope, only to be warned by history itself: Beware of justice.
