Det brutale mord på en familie i en lille by i Kansas i november 1959 fanger Truman Capotes (Philip Seymour Hoffman) interesse. Den berømte forfatter af ”Frokost på Tiffany” begynder sammen med sin barndomsven Nelle Harper Lee (Catherine Keener), der senere skriver ”Dræb ikke en sangfugl", sin egen efterforskning, og det lykkes ham at vinde lokalbefolkningens tillid på trods af sin affekterede adfærd og ekstravagante levestil.
