人人都羡慕麦克尔森一家人。作为一家之主，艾利（阿伦·瑞克曼 Alan Rickman 饰）在职场上呼风唤雨，在学术上更有颇有成就，妻子萨莎（玛丽·斯汀伯根 Mary Steenburgen 饰）是著名的精神病学家，在行业内享有很高的名望，不仅如此，儿子巴克利（布赖恩·加连保格 Bryan Greenberg 饰）更是一位即将毕业的准博士，前途不可估量。 这闪闪发光的一家人，无论走到哪里，都是人群中的焦点，而此时，艾利荣获诺贝尔化学奖的消息更是给这一家子镀上了一层金光。古人云盛极必衰，就在麦克尔森家被快乐笼罩之时，巴克利的失踪无异是当头一盆冷水，绑匪要求的赎金不多不少，恰恰就是艾利的奖金——200万美元。
Barkley Michaelson is in a deep life rut. He's struggling to finish his PhD thesis when his father, the learned Eli Michaelson, wins the Nobel Prize for Chemistry. Barkley and his mother, Sarah, a renowned forensic psychiatrist, now have the ill-fortune of living with a man-eating monster whose philandering ways have gotten less and less discrete. As if Barkley's world is not bad enough, on the eve of his father receiving the Nobel, Barkley is kidnapped and the requested ransom is the $2,000,000 in Nobel prize money. Needless to say, Eli refuses to pay it and so starts a venomous tale of familial dysfunction, lust, betrayal and ultimately revenge. In the words of Michel De Montaigne, the 16th century philosopher: "There is more barbarity in eating a man alive than in eating him dead."
