In 1970s Los Angeles,
bumbling private detective Holland March (Ryan Gosling) and muscle-for-hire
Jackson Healy (Russell Crowe) become unlikely partners when they find
themselves both looking for a missing woman named Amelia (Margaret Qualley)
following the death of a high-profile porn star. Amelia's ties to the deceased
actress are unclear, but as other members of the porn industry turn up dead,
March and Healy's investigation reveals a much bigger conspiracy than the duo
could have ever anticipated. With the help of March's teenage daughter Holly
(Angourie Rice), their sleuthing eventually unearths a shocking corruption scandal that reaches up to
the highest circles of power. (Review to follow)
