In 1977, a fireman named Dan White saved a woman and her babies from a fire in the Geneva Towers apartments in San Francisco. It is this scene which opens White Knight, the story of one witness to that fire, Barney Blatz, and his entanglement with the political and personal catastrophe which followed. With the November, 1978 Jonestown Massacre of 912 people and, three days later, White's murder of Mayor George Moscone and Supervisor Harvey Milk, the city and Barney unraveled. There's a bumper sticker that reads 'Time is nature's way of keeping everything from happening at once, ' but this November, it isn't working.
