Max is an artist seduced by the allure of fame. Sara is an art critic whose obsessions exceed even his.
When she lands a writing gig at a major art magazine, the pair retreats to a cabin in the woods, where Max reveals his strange new painting method.
Convinced of its potential, she agrees to collaborate on a piece sure to revolutionize the art world.
While both original and mesmerizing, the project reveals something dark and disturbing about their relationship.
Like two digital-age Frankensteins, they manage to make a painting come alive - though the unsettling consequences of their success may be more fit for the pages of a blood-soaked tabloid than the chronicles of art history.
The first trailer, stills and poster for the film have been released for the film ahead of a wide release later this year.
