The Story:
The film takes place From the 6th to the 9th of December, 1980 and is intended to be an exploration of Chapman's psyche, without putting substantial emphasis on the murder.
Mark David Chapman (Jared Leto) arrives in wintry New York City, where he quickly assumes the identity of THE CATCHER IN THE RYE protagonist Holden Caulfield, eager to cleanse a world filled with "phonies." Chapman makes his way to the tony Dakota apartment building where Lennon lives, and strikes up a tentative friendship with a sweetly naive groupie named Jude (Lindsay Lohan). Chapman becomes increasingly torn by his avenging impulses, losing himself further and further in Holden Caulfield's character, until an initial encounter with Lennon seals the fates of both men and altered the course of history.
