Gaspard Winckler, master forger, is trapped in a basement studio on the outskirts of Paris, with his paymaster's blood on his hands. The motive for this murder? After a lifetime as a talented (and well rewarded) professional forger he is commissioned to paint a version of a Portrait of a Man by 15th century Italian artist Antonello de Messina, and something changes: he is consumed by the desire to make art rather than copies.
