André Masson, an auctioneer at Scottie’s, receives a letter from a lawyer claiming that a worker in the east French suburbs of Mulhouse owns a painting by Egon Schiele. André’s first reaction is to believe that it can only be a fake. He decides to make the trip to inspect it anyway and against all odds, the painting turns out to be a masterpiece gone missing in 1939. This could undoubtedly be the major turning point of his career, but after a brief investigation, he realizes that he has in his hands a looted work of art, with an opportunity to take an elevated path.
