As a staff member of New York's Parkes-Mason auction house, which is owned by the no-nonsense Eugene Clark (Edward Leigh Mason), he does his best get a hold of, and hold on to, lucrative accounts belonging to high-end collectors like the obnoxious Samuel Brukner (Dennis Quaid). Spurring him along is his wealthy mentor and antiquities collector, Arthur Davenport (Cary Elwes). The competition among auction houses is fierce, and he must outsmart long-time pros like the cutthroat Roxanna Whitman (Kate Bosworth) and negotiate with Belinda Romero (Christina Rosato), Brukner's assistant. It doesn't help that fellow Parkes-Mason staffers like Todd Fletcher (Joe Cobden) are jealous of his success. Things are going well, but thanks to a procurement of rare items from the Middle East, he soon finds himself in over his head.
