Palamós, summer 1962. Truman Capote learns from a newspaper of the death of Marilyn Monroe, his great friend. From there, the novel recreates the three summers the writer spent on the Costa Brava, away from the Manhattan party circuit while working on his masterpiece, «A sangre fría». The narrative blends his creative process, his almost anonymous life in Palamós, and visits from friends such as Lee Radziwill, sister of Jacqueline Kennedy, on the eve of the Dallas assassination.
