The Velvet Underground and Nico is a linear narrative about 24 hours in NYC. The protagonist awakens on a weekend morning, then heads to brunch to discover that the friend he planned to meet is running late. Noticing a woman he once dated, he avoids her by sprinting home...
...to spend the afternoon deciding what to wear to a dinner gathering. Unfortunately this soiree is marred by drugs and prostitution, but a conversation helps him learn about himself. This gives him the strength to attend a funeral the next morning...
...but things end on a sour note when he spontaneously flies to Germany and murders his first born.
