Sex is implied before protagonist's dinner date.

Child molestation involving sex with a 14-year-old teenage girl and unwed pregnancy is a major theme in the movie, although nothing is shown.

A scene of shooting (but not much). A fair amount of blood.

Jesse Stone is constantly drinking scotch and suffering from alcoholism, which is a running theme in the series, and a lot of characters smoke throughout the series.

Scenes like body in the water showing close up that suddenly wakes up, and bad dreams about killing someone.
