The independent film tells the real-life story of the young Ginsberg’s meeting fellow Beat legends Jack Kerouac (On the Road) and Lucien Carr in 1944 and of the murder of Carr’s former English teacher, David Kammerer, which resulted in a sensational trial and Carr’s imprisonment.

In addition to Radcliffe and Olsen, the cast features Michael C. Hall, Ben Foster, Jennifer Jason Leigh, David Cross, Jack Huston, and Upper West Sider Kyra Sedgwick.
