When a lost Rembrandt passes through her hands, she restores the painting and orchestrates a record-breaking sale that establishes her as the most celebrated dealer of her generation. Her husband Marius, twenty years her senior, shaped her career from the beginning. He rescued her from a troubled past and molded her into an international success. Now he arranges for renowned journalist Jack Chalmers to profile Annette for a major London newspaper. Marius believes only a writer of Jack's caliber can capture his wife's brilliance. The interview sessions between Jack and Annette spark an unexpected connection. As Jack digs deeper into her story, he unearths buried secrets that threaten to destroy everything Annette and Marius have built together. The investigation reveals a scandal that could end careers and shatter lives.
