Newfound fame can’t suppress the apathy Johnny Marco (Stephen Dorff) experiences in his daily life. Holed up in the Chateau Marmont, the Hollywood actor’s day-to-day consists of self-medicating with drinks and drugs, meaningless sex, and driving his Ferrari with no sense of direction. When his daughter Cleo (Elle Fanning) moves in temporarily, Johnny is compelled to reexamine his melancholy as her presence evokes a purpose within that he had long forgotten.
