Ripley, a charming young man whose social skills of imitation and forgery allow him to insinuate himself into almost any situation, finds his target and gets seduced by playboy Philippe and his decadent lifestyle. Deciding to take Philippe's father's money as far as it will go, Tom begins to make himself a part of Philippe's circle of privileged friends in Europe. However, when Tom's money is cut off and Philippe begins to tire of his company, Tom resorts to desperate measures to continue the lifestyle to which he's become accustomed.
