The main character, Lou Bloom, played by Jake Gyllenhaal, is a determined and ambitious young man in desperate need of a job. He stumbles upon the world of L.A. crime journalism and becomes enthralled by it. Lou joins a group of freelance camera crews who capture footage of car crashes, fires, and even murders, with the intention of selling it to local news stations. In this cut-throat industry, Lou quickly learns that the more graphic and shocking the footage, the higher the price.
