The story so far
Everything you need before watchingThe valley of ashes has a body in the road. A yellow car did not stop. Tom tells the police he barely knew her, then sits Wilson down: that yellow car was not his. It belongs to a fella named Gatsby, a crook who throws those parties the papers talk about. Maybe Gatsby was fooling around with Myrtle. Maybe that is why he killed her. When Tom says he will pay, revenge already has a name.
