In 1977 LA, we meet ill-fated private detective and father of one Holland March (Gosling) who has the misfortune of having a rude introduction to hired heavy Jackson Healy (Crowe), who turns up to give him a pasting. In a twist of fate, they become an unlikely duo when a young woman, Amelia (Margaret Qualley), mysteriously disappears. But they’re not the only ones searching for the woman, there’s a vicious mob on her case too. As Holland and Jackson get deeper into their investigation, they become embroiled in a dark and violent world, where everyone seems to meet a sticky end.
Then as all hell breaks loose, can the hapless and unlikely duo save the girl and save themselves?
