Paris at the turn of the 21st century. A New York City writer follows in the footsteps of his literary heroes only to discover the reality is far from the fantasy he pursues. Falling in with a group of expatriate American artists, he soon discovers that things aren't really much different than they are from home. When he meets Nys, a quirky Parisian sculptor, he believes she is the answer to all his problems. But a tragedy is unfolding and he is unable —- or unwilling—- to see it. Things suddenly take an ominous turn when the lines between fantasy and reality gradually become erased. The past becomes the present, the present becomes the past and nothing is ever what it appears to be.
