The tense marriage between two artists is disrupted when the husband's provocative nude model ignites his wife's sexual and spiritual awakening. In a three way game of subtle seduction, each confronts unfulfilled desires and festering frustrations that threaten to destroy the illusions of their lives.

Mary Shaw's (Irina Bjorklund) signature blood paintings have made her a celebrity in the art world. Meanwhile, her husband, David Stellar (Peter Franzen), can't get a single gallery to show his realistic nudes - they're just not "now" enough. But he refuses to change his style. Could it have anything to do with Julie Belle (Eliza Pryor Nagel), the seductive blue-eyed blonde he's painting?

Curious about the new woman in her husband's world, Mary develops a friendship with her. Fascinated by Julie's free spirit and outrageous honesty, Mary finds in their relationship a deep level of intimacy, one that's seriously lacking in her marriage. Julie's ambiguous sexuality and probing questions lead Mary to reassess her carefully constructed existence. David fights to keep his marriage intact and resist the temptation of Julie. As she emotionally intertwines with the couple, Julie's facade of detachment crumbles and she wreaks havoc on all their lives.

Out of this emotional chaos, in danger of losing everything that meant anything to her, Mary breaks through her past and discovers what it means to be truly free.
