A quest.
Rick is a screenwriter living in Los Angeles. While successful in his career, his life feels empty. Haunted and confused, he finds temporary solace in the decadent Hollywood excess that defines his existence. Women provide a distraction to his daily pain, and every encounter brings him closer to finding his place in the world.

Reviews
How is it that Christian Bale always manages to get himself the parts where he just wanders around the place getting laid? He's a successful writer who feels his hollow life needs a bit of a lift. When his brother takes his own life (perhaps he'd read the script?), and with his other one in a bit of a mess of his own making, "Rick" concludes that he needs to find something more substantial in his
