Marlowe was all too happy to see his friend Terry and offered him a lift from Los Angeles to the California-Mexico border. Unknown to the fact that their lives are going to change forever, Marlowe dropped Terry in Tijuana, hence the name of the movie. Once he returned, he was immediately arrested for being a suspected accomplice to Terry’s wife, Sylvia’s murder. However, soon after, Terry was also found dead, and it was concluded that he had taken his own life.
Once out of jail, Marlowe comes into contact with the Wades and gradually realizes that his friend and they are connected.
