Hardboiled detective Philip Marlowe is a loner who prefers the company of his whiskey glass to that of people. But when a stray dog wanders into his office, Marlowe finds his solitary existence disrupted. As he reluctantly cares for the scrappy mutt, Marlowe is drawn into a tangled web of missing persons, cold-blooded murder, and his own troubled past. With a dangerous criminal syndicate on his trail, Marlowe must use his wits to protect the dog and crack the case before time runs out.
