Kill Your Darlings

In 1944, poet Allen Ginsberg wins a place at Columbia University in New York City, where he soon runs into Lucien Carr, an unruly character who holds strong anti-establishment beliefs. As Ginsberg spends more time with Carr, he meets William S. Burroughs and Jack Kerouac, ambitious people who decide to start a new literary movement as a rebellion against laws, institutions, and social norms. The group's antics lead to a series of events that ultimately culminate in the murder of David Kammerer, a law professor with a predatory relationship with Carr.
