This is the story of a spectacular downfall. One man; one day; the trembling of global markets. Eric Packer; age twenty-eight; emerges from his $104-million penthouse triplex and settles into his lavishly customized white stretch limo. At age four; Packer figured out what he would weigh on every planet in the solar system. Now; he is a billionaire asset manager; and on this April day in the year 2000; he is a man with two missions: to pursue a cataclysmic bet against the yen and to get a haircut across town. His journey to the barbershop is a contemporary odyssey; funny and riveting. Stalled in traffic by a presidential motorcade; a music idol's funeral; a movie in the making; and a violent political demonstration; Eric receives a string of visitors - his experts on security; technology; currency; finance; and theory. Sometimes he leaves the car for intimate encounters. Sometimes he doesn't have to. .
