Virgil Oldman is a world renowned antiques expert and auctioneer. An eccentric genius, he leads a solitary life, going to extreme lengths to keep his distance from the messiness of human relationships. When appointed by the beautiful but emotionally damaged Claire to oversee the valuation and sale of her family’s priceless art collection, Virgil allows himself to form an attachment to her – and soon he is engulfed by a passion which will rock his bland existence to the core.

An isolated auctioneer finds his carefully curated solitude disrupted by a mysterious woman and a collection of cryptic, mechanical illusions. This psychological puzzle replaces typical romantic tropes with an intricate game of deception played through priceless antiques.
