Billionaire Eric Packer (Pattinson) rides slowly across Manhattan
in his limousine that he uses as his office while on his way to his
preferred barber, even though there are traffic jams. They are caused by
a visit of the president of the United States and by the funeral of
Eric's favourite musician, whose music he plays in one of his two
private elevators.
He has recently married. In the car and elsewhere, he
has meetings with his wife, who does not want sex with him, to save
energy that she needs for her work. Instead, he has sex with other
women. In his car, while having a meeting, he has his doctor carry out
his daily medical checkup; Eric worries about the doctor's finding that
he has an asymmetrical prostate.
After devastating currency speculation, he kills his bodyguard and
follows a path of further self-destruction, including visiting his
potential murderer and deliberately shooting himself in the hand.
