November 1959. Intrigued by the brutal Clutter Family massacre in rural Holcomb, Kansas, Truman Capote, the acclaimed author of Breakfast at Tiffany's (1961) and prominent writer for The New Yorker, sets foot in the small town to cover the story. So, without delay, Truman Capote heads for Kansas, accompanied by Harper Lee, a close friend who had recently completed her manuscript for To Kill a Mockingbird (1962). However, as the inquisitive reporter digs deeper and deeper into the story that shocked America, a strange mixture of twisted friendship, manipulation, co-dependency, male bonding, and empathy develops--all crucial ingredients for Truman Capote's non-fiction novel, In Cold Blood.—Nick Riganas
