The film is set in 1981 San Francisco. Gardner has invested his entire life savings in portable bone-density scanners, which he demonstrates to doctors and sells as a subsidized priority over standard X-rays. The scanners play a vital role in his life. While he is able to sell most of them, the time lag between sales and his growing financial demands enrages his already bitter and alienated wife Linda, who works as a hotel maid. The financial instability increasingly erodes their marriage, in spite of them caring for their five-year-old son, Christopher Jr. While Gardner is trying to sell one of the scanners, he meets Jay Twistle, a manager for Dean Witter Reynolds, and impresses him by solving a Rubik's Cube during a taxi ride. After Jay leaves, Gardner lacks the money to pay the fare and chooses to run, resulting in him being chased by the driver into a BART station. Gardner boards a train but loses one of his scanners. His new relationship with Jay earns him the chance to become an intern stockbroker.
