Sinopsis

Pada tahun 1991, setelah biografinya tentang Estée Lauder menuai kritik dan kegagalan, penulis Lee Israel harus berjuang dengan masalah keuangan, kehilangan kemampuan menulis buku, dan kecanduan alkohol. Dengan agennya yang tidak bisa mendapatkan uang muka untuk penulisan buku baru, Israel terpaksa menjual barang-barangnya untuk menutupi pengeluaran, termasuk menjual surat pribadi yang diterimanya dari Katharine Hepburn kepada seorang penjual buku lokal Anna.

Saat melakukan penelitian untuk biografi Fanny Brice yang potensial, Israel menemukan dua surat yang ditulis oleh Brice, salah satunya ia bawa dan tunjukkan kepada Anna. Anna memberikan penawaran rendah karena konten suratnya yang hambar, mendorong Israel untuk kembali ke rumah, menambahkan postscript ke surat kedua, dan membawanya kembali ke Anna, yang kemudian menerima surat itu seharga $ 350. Israel kemudian mulai memalsukan dan menjual surat-surat selanjutnya oleh para selebritas yang telah meninggal, dengan memasukkan perincian intim dalam upaya untuk mendapatkan harga yang lebih tinggi. Anna, yang adalah penggemar tulisan Israel, mencoba memulai hubungan romantis tetapi ditolak.

Ketika salah satu surat Israel menimbulkan kecurigaan karena diskusi seksualitas Noel Coward yang tidak dijaga kerahasiaannya, pembeli mulai memasukkan daftar hitam padanya. Sekarang Israel tidak lagi dapat menjual pemalsuan itu, tetapi ia memiliki seorang teman, seorang pengedar narkoba flamboyan Jack Hock, dan kemudian menjual surat-surat untuknya. Dia juga mulai mencuri surat-surat otentik dari perpustakaan dan arsip untuk dijual, menggantikannya dengan duplikat palsu. Sementara Israel berada di luar kota melakukan sebuah pencurian seperti itu, kucing tuanya meninggal di bawah perawatan Jack. Dia mengakhiri persahabatan mereka tetapi melanjutkan kemitraan kriminal mereka karena kebutuhan.

Jack ditangkap oleh FBI ketika mencoba melakukan penjualan dan memutuskan bekerja sama dengan FBI, mengakibatkan Israel mendapatkan panggilan pengadilan. Dia menyewa seorang pengacara, yang menyarankannya untuk menunjukkan penyesalan dengan mendapatkan pekerjaan, melakukan pelayanan masyarakat, dan bergabung dengan Alcoholics Anonymous. Di pengadilan, Israel mengaku dia menikmati membuat surat-surat palsu dan tidak menyesali tindakannya, tetapi menyadari kejahatannya tidak layak karena pemalsuan tidak menunjukkan dirinya yang sebenarnya sebagai penulis. Dia dijatuhi hukuman percobaan lima tahun dan tahanan rumah enam bulan.

Beberapa waktu kemudian, Israel berdamai dengan Jack, yang sekarang sekarat karena AIDS, dan meminta izinnya untuk menulis memoar tentang petualangan mereka, yang ia setujui. Saat melewati toko buku, dia melihat surat Dorothy Parker yang dipalsunya dan dijual seharga $ 1900. Dengan jijik, dia menulis kepada pemilik toko sebuah nada sarkastik dalam suara Parker. Setelah menerima catatan Israel dan menyadari bahwa surat di jendela etalase adalah palsu, pemiliknya mengeluarkannya dari jendela tetapi berubah pikiran dan memutuskan untuk menyimpannya di layar.
