Based on the true story of young Truman Capote and his investigation into the 1959 murders of a wealthy Kansas family of four. What starts out as a journey with his childhood friend Harper Lee to figure out “whodunit,” turns into something unexpected: an intense and complex bond with one of the murderers that inspired his greatest work, “In Cold Blood.”
Notes: Based on George Plimpton’s 1997 oral biography “Truman Capote: In Which Various Friends, Enemies, Acquaintances and Detractors Recall His Turbulent Career.”
