Synopsis
Sebastian Delacroix is a highly acclaimed artist, academic and public figure. As proprietor of the Sebastian Delacroix Atelier, he instructs the next generation of artists in the traditional methods used by the great master painters of the Renaissance.
The obsession he cultivates for Jennifer, his latest protégé, says as much about his disposition as a hopeless romantic as it does a serial philanderer. Despite her tender age, Sebastian deludes himself she has romantic yearnings for him. She gracefully endures his lecherous remarks and breaches of physical protocol for the opportunity to learn from one of the foremost authorities in the field of advanced portraiture.
His pursuit of Jennifer is the catalyst for an unravelling of secrets which threaten to tear his world apart. Sebastian must now decide whether it’s a world he wants to save.
