Description

Psychiatrist Andrew Marlowe, devoted to his profession and the painting
hobby he loves, has a solitary but ordered life. When renowned painter
Robert Oliver attacks a canvas in the National Gallery of Art and becomes
his patient, Marlow finds that order destroyed. Desperate to understand the
secret that torments the genius, he embarks on a journey that leads him
into the lives of the women closest to Oliver and a tragedy at the heart of
French Impressionism.
