action
In the ruthless art scene of Los Angeles, aspiring agent Josephina comes across hundreds of dazzling paintings after an elderly tenant dies in her building. She ignores the instructions left by the unknown artist that his work should be destroyed and immediately begins circulating the paintings.
The paintings quickly caught the attention of the heavyweights of the art scene, including their boss Rhodora Haze, art critic and Josephina's lover Morf Vandewalt, and a number of collectors and curators such as Bryson and Gretchen. Soon there was a lot of excitement in the art scene, and the works of art by the hitherto unknown painter caused the greatest euphoria. But the enthusiasm has its price, as not only the buyers notice very quickly, because a supernatural force seems to punish all those who profit from the work of the deceased artist.
