Hogwarts graduate Daniel Radcliffe is going to college – Columbia University, in the 1940s. In this dawn-of-the-Beats bio-drama, he's the young poet Allen Ginsberg, soon to meet the young Jack Kerouac (Boardwalk Empire's Jack Huston) and the young William S. Burroughs (Ben Foster). Jon Krokidas' feature traces the earliest days of their fateful friendship, which involved both a murder and the birth of a literary revolution.
