Hermetically sealed in his high-tech stretch limo, financial whiz-kid/gazillionaire Erik Packer (RobertPattinson) is intent on three things: making a killing on the financial markets, talking his new high-society wife into having sex with him, and--most importantly--getting a haircut from his favorite barber on the other side of town. None of these go as planned: The markets kill ''his'' finances, he has sex with every woman ''but'' his wife, and a series of traffic jams, riots, and assassination threats slow his commute to a crawl.
