Timon, a nobleman of Athens, is known for his lavish generosity and hospitality. But when his fortune dwindles, so too do his once-countless friends. Spurned by those he thought he could count on, Timon retreats from society, his bitterness and misanthropy growing with each slight. As he sinks into isolation and despair, Timon's downfall becomes a devastating portrait of the fickleness of human nature.
