In late 1940s Los Angeles, Easy Rawlins is an unemployed black World War II veteran with few job prospects. At a bar, Easy meets DeWitt Albright, a mysterious white man looking for someone to investigate the disappearance of a missing white woman named Daphne Monet, who he suspects is hiding out in one of the city's black jazz clubs. Strapped for money and facing house payments, Easy takes the job, but soon finds himself in over his head.

Close-up of a knife cutting into the skin of someone's neck. It's only a shallow cut, not a serious wound.

A character leaves her Bible with her man before she dies, and he believes it is because she is so religious.

There's a politician who is a pedophile and the plot involves some photos of him abusing children, used for blackmail. The photos aren't shown. He also has an "adopted son" who it implies that he is abusing, again nothing shown onscreen but there's one scene where he makes the kid kiss him on the cheek.
