Plot Synopsis
“Are you free tonight...?”
A simple enough question, but the way one man answers it will change his life forever. Jonathan McQuarry (Ewan McGregor) is that man. An anonymous corporate auditor adrift in a sea of New York’s power élite, “All work and no play” isn’t quite Jonathan’s problem. He’s more “All work and no life.”
But a chance meeting with Wyatt Bose (Hugh Jackman), a charismatic corporate lawyer, introduces Jonathan to a New York City that exists only for the privileged—a decadent playground for Manhattan’s executive upper crust. In Wyatt’s world, the men wear four-thousand-dollar suits and, when they loosen their ties, they frequent steamy underground boîtes, where the women are drop-dead gorgeous, and available. And for those power brokers whose eighteen-hour workdays don’t leave time for a personal life? For them there’s “The List,” a sex club, of sorts, where with the right cell-phone number and four simple words (“Are you free tonight?”) can lead to an evening’s sexual fulfillment.
It’s a world of “intimacy without intricacy,” as Jonathan’s first conquest (or vice versa) explains to him, and through it Jonathan discovers a side of himself that he didn’t know existed. But an affair with a ravishing and mysterious stranger known to Jonathan only by her first initial, “S.,” (Michelle Williams) will expose him to yet another world he never imagined—one of treachery and murder.
