1958: Tom Ripley è un giovane americano educato di modesta estrazione. Cede il posto alle signore e ascolta rispettosamente i consigli dei più anziani. Con gli amici è allegro, non ha eguali nell'imitare i personaggi celebri, nel cantare e suonare il piano. Soprattutto tende spesso a mentire pur di mascherare la propria condizione. Un giorno durante un party la grande occasione: un ricco industriale gli chiede, dietro un cospicuo compenso, di riportare negli Stati Uniti suo figlio Dickie, che vive un esilio dorato in Italia. Tom infatti, si è sentito di spacciarsi per un suo compagno di università, avendo indossato un blazer dell'istituto fattosi prestare da un amico per l'occasione. Il giovane entra in una gigantesca avventura, raggiunge quindi Ischia, dove vive Dick Greenleaf; ne diventa amico, e conosce anche la sua bella ragazza, Marge.
