He effortlessly manipulates and beds other affluent women, expertly maintaining multiple liaisons to sustain his hedonistic way of living.
However, Nikki's life takes an unexpected turn when he meets Heather, a stunning waitress who appears to be uninterested in his manipulative charms. Drawn to her in a way he hasn't been to others, he becomes fascinated by the potential of a genuine connection. As he starts to develop real feelings for Heather, Nikki begins to question his parasitic lifestyle. This newfound emotional turmoil forces him to confront the true cost of his choices and the hollow existence he's been leading.

Polarizing film with mixed character depth, Kutcher shines in latter half; Blu-ray offers solid AV quality but flawed narrative. Rent before buying.
