A fixture of the London art scene since his starry breakout amid the creative explosion of the 1960s, Julian Sklar (Ian McKellen) now lives in cluttered, self-imposed seclusion.

His two estranged children (James Corden, Jessica Gunning) enlist Lori (Michaela Coel), a young painter and sometime-forger, to pose as a prospective assistant and gain access to a fabled series of unfinished canvases Julian has buried deep in his home studio, in a deceptive bid to secure an inheritance for themselves.
