JJ 'Jake' Gittes is a private detective who seems to specialize in
matrimonial cases. He is hired by Evelyn Mulwray when she suspects her
husband Hollis, builder of the city's water supply system, of having an
affair. Gittes does what he does best and photographs him with a young
girl but in the ensuing scandal, it seems he was hired by an
impersonator and not the real Mrs. Mulwray. When Mr. Mulwray is found
dead, Jake is plunged into a complex web of deceit involving murder,
incest and municipal corruption all related to the city's water supply.
