Synopsis
SPREAD is a fresh, funny, and racy look at the trials and tribulations of sleeping your way to a life of privilege in Los Angeles. Comic and karmic, the film is an “immorality tale” about a gorgeous guy who gives women what they want while allowing him to live exactly as he chooses.
Nikki (Ashton Kutcher) isn’t a gigolo. He’s a fun-loving, freeloading charmer, who understands his greatest assets are his looks and sexual prowess, which he uses very effectively on the city’s richest women. While he gets a free place to live, fantastic gifts, A-list access, and plenty of sex, the women get to feel young, beautiful… and utterly fulfilled in the bedroom. It’s a mutually beneficial set-up.
Samantha (Anne Heche), a stunning middle-aged lawyer who gives him more than he’s ever had before, is his latest conquest. But then he meets a gorgeous waitress his own age named Heather (Margarita Levieva), who visits Nikki at Samantha’s house when Samantha is away. Heather comes to the mistaken conclusion all this wealth is his. However, unbeknownst to Nikki, Heather lives by playing the same game.
When Samantha returns and exposes Nikki’s infidelity she boots him out. With nowhere else to turn, Nikki pulls out all the stops to win Heather over and they unexpectedly begin falling in love " the one thing they can’t do in the life they lead…
