Et sted i slutningen af 1980'erne møder vi den gudesmukke, unge børsmægler Patrick Bateman. Han er kun syvogtyve somre, elsket af venner, kæreste og sekretær, kendt som Wall Streets rare fyr og en rigtig 'boy next door'. Men om natten skifter han karakter og myrder og torterer prostituerede i flæng. Volden udarter sig og snart melder spørgsmålet sig om, hvor meget er Patricks egen fantasi og hvor meget er virkelighed.
