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 Dylans 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?
Approaching forty, Conrad Valmont has not worked a day in his life, he having lived off the wealth of his parents, who he has not seen of late as they are on a perpetual around the world trip. Conrad, however, tells people that he is working on the quintessential New York novel, it always being in the information gathering stages. Conrad grew up and still lives in the familys lavish, old world Manhattan hotel, where he was raised by servants. He has never been in a serious relationship, those available women he finding sexually attractive a bore, and those he finding interesting to who he is not sexually attracted. Whenever he has stayed with a woman for longer than one night has always been solely in not wanting to be alone. His longtime best and only real friend is equally wealthy Dylan Tate, whose money is self made as a successful artist, and who is a socialist at that. Also unlike Conrad, Dylan takes love seriously, he and his last girlfriend, Jocelyn, with who he just broke up, lasting for three years. Out of circumstance and without previous notification, Conrads parents cut him off meaning that he has to move out of the hotel immediately with no money and find his own means of living. The subsequent week in Conrads life is presented, that week which includes he: borrowing a couple of hundred dollars from his longtime therapist, Barry, to get him going; moving in with Dylan, who he does not tell about his new financial situation; falling in love for the first time, with Beatrice Fairbanks, a model and aspiring musician, she who happens to be the woman Dylan is also pursuing; and starting a clandestine relationship with Beatrice - a woman he could see being the one - despite vowing to Dylan that he would not hit on her, Dylan who could see his attraction to her. The primary questions become what will happen to Conrads relationships with both Dylan and Beatrice when they inevitably find out about his financial situation and with Dylan specifically about breaking his vow concerning Beatrice, and whether during this week Conrad will take steps to truly growing up, something that has not happened in forty years.
