Logline: Centers on a Japanese man who guides Americans through the seedy Japan nightlife, and finds himself slowly being sucked into the strange world of his last client as he hypnotizes lowly sex workers, lies about everything, and may or may-not have been involved in dismembering a local schoolgirl – something the guide finds himself suspiciously drawn to discovering on his own.

Logline: Tracks 28-year-old financial wizard and billionaire Eric Packer as he traverses Manhattan in his stretch limo. His goal: a haircut at Anthony’s, his father’s old barber.
