An ambitious art critic, James Figueras, is approached by a wealthy art collector, Joseph Cassidy, with a proposition. Cassidy has the reclusive artist Jerome Debney living on his estate: if Figueras can procure for him, by whatever means, a Debney painting he can get an interview with Debney, something no one has done for 50 years, and Cassidy will help Figueras's career.
