   Summary

   In 1977, Jimmy McCulloch kills Paul and Linda in their beds while they sleep. Their three children are parentless, the world is missing its music virtuoso, and the remaining Beatles must come to turns with losing someone they used to know better than themselves.

   Inspired by the anecdote about Jimmy McCulloch nearly shooting Paul and Linda in their sleep from Geoffrey Guiliano's Blackbird.
