Spread Plot Summary

What happens in Spread from start to finish, spoilers included, with a timeline of 13 key events. The opening is below; the full summary is a 3-minute read.

Spoilers ahead

Nikki is a narcissistic gigolo living in Los Angeles, drifting from one relationship to another without a steady job or a place to live. He preys on women who can provide for him, using his looks and charm to keep them satisfied. After meeting Samantha at a club, he moves in with her, cementing a volatile arrangement where affection is entangled with manipulation and money.

He quickly turns to cheating, first with his friend Emily, then with Christina, whom he meets at another party. Emily disapproves of Nikki’s free-wheeling lifestyle and longs for a real relationship, but Nikki’s interest lies more in wealth than in commitment. Samantha catches him with Christina, yet they strike an uneasy compromise in which she agrees to overlook his infidelity for the moment.
