On assignment to write an article for the New Yorker, Truman Capote traveled to a small Kansas town, where he began to investigate and report on the gruesome murder of a local family. At first leery of the writer, the townsfolk come to trust Capote and allow him into their lives, giving him his story.
Based on the book "Capote: A Biography" written by Gerald Clarke; published by Simon & Schuster May 1, 1988.
