Neeson portrays as an aging Marlowe, working on a case in 1939 Los Angeles assigned by wealthy Clare Cavendish (Diane Kruger), looking for her lover named Nico, who is presumed dead but Clare knows somehow is still alive. Her mother is silent film era superstar Dorothy (Jessica Lange), retired because of her age but still powerfully connected to a studio head who is about to be appointed ambassador. As the layers of the case are peeled away, enemies become friends and vice versa, but rest assured that Philip Marlowe will apply and receive several beat downs.
