While Blanchard's growing preoccupation with the sensational murder threatens his marriage to Kay (Scarlett Johansson), his partner Bleichert finds himself attracted to the enigmatic Madeleine Linscott (Hilary Swank), the daughter of one of the city's most prominent families--who just happens to have an unsavory connection to the murder victim.
Based on the best-selling crime novel by James Ellroy.
