It's a beautiful September day and Manhattanite Julian Duff has overbooked. In particular, Julian, who is working to raise money for his publishing company, has scheduled three critical business meetings, as well as a lunchtime appointment with his wife to discuss the redesign of their kitchen. As the ambitious and narcissistic Julian tackles this full schedule, which addresses the past, present, and future of his business and private life, he rushes around Manhattan, where he continually sees evidence of his accomplished yet precarious existence. Ultimately, Julian, through this busy day, confronts the reality of his debts and delusions while showing what one man has in mind during his TRIP AT THE TOP.
