Malcolm Raphelson is a painter who was at the top of the art world--until the critical vogue turned from realism to abstract expressionist work.
He has been in self-imposed exile in Mexico for decades.
But then dealer Trevor Fabricant decides it's time for a retrospective.
Trevor sends Judd, a talented and tormented young painter, to serve as Malcolm's assistant and unofficial minder.
When they are joined by a beautiful young student, their tense equilibrium is upset.
