Summary
A gauntlet of gilded absurdity unfurls when affable Monty Brewster, heir-apparent to a copper-tinged fortune, discovers that ten million awaits only if he can incinerate two in twelve lunatic months while dodging the altar’s velvet noose. Cue a delirious carnival of taxi fleets torched in midnight rivers, hotel suites leased for pigeons, absurdiac operas staged for bewildered dockworkers, and a phalanx of creditors lounging in silk pajamas—each expenditure a brushstroke on a canvas of excess. Yet beneath the champagne geysers and ticker-tape avalanches lurks a sly meditation on capital itself: how liquidity corrodes identity, how spectacle devours privacy, and how love, once commodified, becomes the most ruinous luxury of all. By the final frame, the bankbook is ash, the heart is bruised, and the American Dream has been strip-mined to a glittering skeleton.
Synopsis
Monte Brewster learns that he has inherited $10 million from his late grandfather, but then learns that he must spend $2 million in less than a year and remain unmarried to inherit the rest of the money.
