Esther Stegmann, Parisian journalist, knows that her art dealer grandfather was executed by the Nazis and his collection was never recovered. When her father sees an extraordinary painting brought home by her art broker husband, he is uncharacteristically moved to tears, but explains nothing. Esther is driven to investigate dressed in trench coat and fedora, one of many nods to film noir. When mysterious obstacles derail her search, Esther pursues a dangerous quest for truth buried beneath family secrets.
