The Christophers

Julian Sklar is a well-known painter based in London, elderly and eccentric. In the 1990s, he completed two series of paintings called "The Christophers" based on his lover at the time; a third series of "Christophers" remained unfinished, and he has not worked on them in years. His reputation has faded as he has aged. His unscrupulous children Barnaby and Sallie hire Lori Butler, a young artist who has not exhibited in years, to pose as his assistant and finish the "Christophers" behind his back. They plan to sell the finished "Julian Sklar" paintings for a fortune after his death.
