  KIC 9406652 is a remarkable variable star in the Kepler field of view that
shows both very rapid oscillations and long term outbursts in its light curve.
We present an analysis of the light curve over quarters 1 to 15 and new
spectroscopy that indicates that the object is a cataclysmic variable with an
orbital period of 6.108 hours. However, an even stronger signal appears in the
light curve periodogram for a shorter period of 5.753 hours, and we argue that
this corresponds to the modulation of flux from the hot spot region in a
tilted, precessing disk surrounding the white dwarf star. We present a
preliminary orbital solution from radial velocity measurements of features from
the accretion disk and the photosphere of the companion. We use a Doppler
tomography algorithm to reconstruct the disk and companion spectra, and we also
consider how these components contribute to the object's spectral energy
distribution from ultraviolet to infrared wavelengths. This target offers us a
remarkable opportunity to investigate disk processes during the high mass
transfer stage of evolution in cataclysmic variables.
