Artist John Stephensen (Romain Roll) is found dead next to the body of the tenth victim in a series of murders that had rocked the city of
Marseille. Police rule his death a suicide and, when they uncover paintings of his murdered models, they name him as the killer that had been
terrorising Southern France.
London based art expert and author Oliver Davenport (Troy McFadden) lauds the murderous artist as the greatest painter of the 20th
century and the paintings begin to change hands for astronomical sums.
Two years later, when Davenport is approached by French police and asked for his opinion on a canvas, he confidently identifies it as a
genuine Stephensen. But, when he finds the painting is no more than a few months old, doubt is cast as to whether Stephensen was solely
responsible for the priceless art and the horrific murders. Davenport and French cop Capitaine Albert (Jeso Vial) pose as art collectors as the
hunt for an elusive second man begins
Their search leads them halfway across the world to the artist, Lec (Laurent Guyon), a Frenchman living in exile among the thieves, drug
dealers and pimps of the tiny Asian island of Ladang Geta.
Davenport becomes increasingly obsessed with the art he loves and oblivious to
the terrible truth behind its creation. His love for Lecs art brings him into conflict with Lecs lover, the heiress Blanche de Ladang (Carole
Derrien), a woman who will do anything to keep him by her side.
The story of art, theft, kidnap, murder and ultimately, love, continues in London where Davenport and Blanche compete for the object of
their obsession.
