In a marginalized New Orleans still trying desperately to recover from Katrina, a private eye on the fringes of society reluctantly investigates two murders - one present day, one thirty years old. But even as detective Jack Spade encounters ancient French Quarter jewelers, shifty bayou drunks, rich uptown socialites, mysterious street prostitutes, exotic voodoo fortune tellers, corrupt police lieutenants, and homicidal Mardi Gras jesters - none of whom he can trust individually - he can't continue to ignore the mounting evidence that his father may have been involved in both crimes.

00:02I need a detective, Jack.
00:04You're going to find out who killed my daughter's mother.
00:08Sorry to hear.
00:10Don't be. I'm over it.
00:13I want much more than his messenger boy.
00:17Yeah, but you're also his son.
00:21I needed records of all unsolved homicides
00:2430 years ago today.
00:28So now, Mr. Young Spade,
00:31he's in search of the necklace as well, eh?
00:33How can you stand there and be so smart?
00:36How much you tell him?
00:37Because from what I can tell,
00:38you're not much of a detective anyway.
00:41You just kind of bumble around
00:42and wait for clues to follow.
00:44Wouldn't the necklace look good on me, Jackie?
00:46What, are you all going to charge me
00:47with a murder committed in a poor house on the floor?
00:49I don't see what we're going on here.
00:50Remember the murder you had to investigate?
00:52Don't forget the carrier gun.
00:54You're going to need it.
00:55You don't want to hear about the necklace, huh?
00:57Ha, ha, ha.
00:58We're not here for accusations, monsieur.
01:02Careful, Jack.
01:03The treasure you seek belongs to pirates.
01:07I'm a real detective.
01:08Mr. Spade,
01:10turn to the scene of the crime.
01:11You better find out what happened to Annie.
01:13I'm dead!
01:16What?
01:17You mean it's all the hoax?
01:19I'm sure I am.
01:19That could be more than necklaces magic.
01:24Yeah, I would laugh too
01:26if I didn't have that thing
01:27in my possession for a week.
01:33Ha, ha, ha, ha.
