Within months, they begin a love affair that will never let them go. Robbie grows into an accomplished portraitist in the vivid London art world with the help of Anton’s enchanting former wife, while Anton turns from his inherited wealth and connections to improve the conditions of the poor.

As Robbie and Anton’s commitment to each other grows, the world about them turns to a more dangerous place.
