Tom Ripley is struggling to make a living in New York City. When he's approached by Herbert Greenleaf - shipping magnate and father to an old university acquaintance of his - he sets sail for Italy to convince his son Dickie, whose friendship he exaggerates greatly, to go back to the US and join the family business. There, he gets a taste of the life of luxury afforded by the Greenleafs and a string of lies, deception, and scams kicks off.
