Bobby Clark ist sechzehn, als er in Calgary von der Highschool fliegt, aber eins kann er: bescheißen. Und weil er sowieso nicht in Kanada bleiben will, folgt er seinem Bruder Jim in die USA. Jim ist eine große Nummer im Uhren- und Schmuckbusiness, dank ihm findet Bobby sofort einen Job. Und es stellt sich heraus: Bobby ist der verflucht beste Verkäufer, den Texas je gesehen hat. Verkaufen ist die Geschichte eines jungen Mannes und seiner Erziehung in den beiden ältesten Leidenschaften, dem Geld und der Liebe. Durch eine scharfe Linse zeichnet Clancy Martin die flüchtigen Momente des Luxus in all seiner berauschenden Vulgarität und findet darin eine Metapher für die verzweifelte Suche der Menschen nach Glück.
