Synopsis

They were children growing up next door to each other - she, a tomboy in overalls; he a summer visitor from New Orleans, always dressed in immacualte white linen. Twenty-five years later he had taken New York's literary world by storm, while she struggled to put pen to paper and sweat out the story of her childhood. He was Truman Capote, she was Harper Lee.

They would reunite in the desolate plains of Kansas to create In Cold Blood. And they would start talk of an even greater, unspoken mystery and crime: What happened between them - and who really wrote To Kill a Mockingbird? How did two innocents from a backwoods Southern town go on to such fame, and why did they stop speaking to each other shortly after?

Kim Powers has conjured a sort of death-bed confession from Capote, in which he picks up the phone to Harper Lee one last time to tell her he is being haunted - a tale she doesn't believe, until she is forced to. What do the ghosts of the Clutters want, as they appear one by one to confess their secrets and their anger to the most unlikely mediums of Capote and Lee?
