Burroughs. The year is 1944. Ginsberg (Radcliffe) is a young student at Columbia University when he falls hopelessly under the spell of charismatic classmate Carr (Dane DeHaan). Alongside Carr, Ginsberg manages to strike up friendships with aspiring writers William S.

Meanwhile, an older outsider named David Kammerer falls deeply and madly in love with the impossibly cool Carr.
