Easy Rawlins, a Black war veteran, has just been fired from his job at a defense factory plant. Drinking in his friend's bar, he's wondering how he'll manage to make ends meet, when a white man in a linen suit approaches him and offers him good money if Easy will simply locate Miss Daphne Money, a missing blonde beauty known to frequent Black jazz clubs.
Easy has no idea that after taking this job, his life is about to change forever.
