Synopsis:

Painter Paul Sloan feels he's a failure, since nobody will buy his paintings. His art dealer informs him, that the works of an artist become much more wanted and valuable if the artist is dead. Therefore, Paul, together with his friend Casey Barnett, plans to fake his own suicide. However, it starts looking like Casey has murdered Paul and when Casey starts making a move for Paul's fiancée, he decides to get revenge. However, Paul falls in love with Nikki, who has also tried to commit suicide.

Paul Sloane didn't think dying would be the best career move a struggling artist could make. But when he goes "missing, presumed dead" whilst performing a life-saving heroic act, his roommate realises there's money to be made in selling his "dear, departed" buddy's paintings. When Paul turns up very much alive, the pair elect to keep him dead so he can produce more valuable, newly discovered works of art for high profit.

Struggling artist fakes his own death so his works will increase in value.
