As he eases into adulthood at the age of forty, Conrad Valmont (Jason
Bateman), the over-educated, under-employed heir to the Valmont Hotel
fortune, is cut off from his allowance following his parents’ abrupt
divorce and tossed out into the unforgiving streets of the Upper West
Side. Luckily, he is taken in by his old friend Dylan (Billy Crudup),
and returns the favor by immediately falling for Dylan’s girlfriend
Beatrice (Olivia Wilde). As Conrad attempts to woo Beatrice while
keeping both their relationship and his bank balance secret, Dylan tries
to set him up with Jocelyn (Jenny Slate). Ever committed to the charade
that he eventually finds difficult to maintain, Conrad quickly realizes
his charm can only extend so far into debt. Now deep into an
extensional reflection, will it take losing everything to make Conrad
realize what he can truly become?
