The film opens in Corinth, Mississippi, with Curtis as a struggling Elvis impersonator and conspiracy theorist obsessed with exposing corruption and uncovering hidden truths. While balancing odd jobs and caring for his ailing mother, Curtis spends his nights writing letters to the government, calling attention to what he believes is a sinister organ-harvesting conspiracy at the local hospital. His passion for the "truth" is both endearing and alienating, as his friends and family struggle to understand his unrelenting drive. When suspicious ricin-laced letters are intercepted, the FBI zeroes in on Curtis, who matches their profile of an unhinged loner with a grudge against the government. Arrested and thrown into the media spotlight, Curtis becomes the unlikely protagonist in a national scandal. His defense hinges on his ex-wife and estranged brother, who reluctantly join forces to prove his innocence. As the case unfolds, Curtis' bizarre personality and small-town charm make him a viral sensation, capturing the public’s imagination. The film’s climax reveals that another local man, Curtis’ rival and fellow eccentric, framed him. The final act sees Curtis exonerated but left grappling with the reality that his fight for the truth has come at a great personal cost.
