In the cosmopolitan city "megalopolis," an NFT artist named "Nico Rothko" loses all the family's money he (badly) invested in a bitcoin crash. Nico and his family want the young designer to get a steady "normal job" in a company to recover the family's wealth before his family is evicted. With the help of family members and friends he must discover what is holding him back and creating so much rejection in the employment market. He soon remembers a painful experience as a child. He needs to confront his deepest fear to overcome his deepest trauma in order to release his full potential, release him self from his own limitations and find the way to restore his balance...only to discover that the debris he went through in his quest was entirely planned by a superior intelligence (one of his loved ones) as a gift for personal growth.
