Synopsis:

Paris, 1926. A time when anything could happen...and usually did. At the center of this world is Nick Hart (Keith Carradine), a struggling painter who makes a meager living drawing caricatures at his favourite cafe. Nick langs for success and even agrees to forge masterpieces for a wealthy divorcee (Geraldine Chaplin). But what he really desires is Rachel (Linda Fiorentino), the seductive wife of an obsessively jealous - and lethally dangerous - businessman (John Lone).

Nick Hart is a struggling American artist who lives amongst the expatriate community in 1920s Paris. He spends most of his time drinking and socializing in local cafés and pestering gallery owner Libby Valentin to sell his paintings. He becomes involved in a plot by wealthy art patroness Nathalie de Ville to forge three paintings. This leads to several run-ins with American rubber magnate Bertram Stone, who happens to be married to Hart's ex-wife Rachel.
