300 years of a remarkable musical instrument. Crafted by the Italian master Bussotti (Cecchi) in 1681, the red violin has traveled through Austria, England, China, and Canada, leaving both beauty and tragedy in its wake. In Montreal, Samuel L Jackson plays an appraiser going over its complex history.

An appraiser attempts to trace a bloodstained lineage through centuries of stolen history and broken lives. Follow the instrument's path from a Renaissance workshop to modern Montreal as it leaves a trail of obsession in its wake.
