Daniel Jakor, a struggling artist, discovers his true talent lies in forging masterpieces by famous artists like Picasso, Monet, and Renoir. He partners with corrupt gallery owner Tay Murphy, who introduces him to the art world and helps him become a master forger. However, Tay's personal demons and mob debts put Daniel in a precarious situation, working for Seamus White, a powerful art collector and mob boss. As Daniel's forgeries become more daring, his ex-fiancée, an authenticator at Sotheby's, must track him down before the FBI and the mob catch up with him. But will she find him before his world comes crashing down, and what does it mean if his forgeries are never discovered?
Fake
The life of a talented but unrecognised artist takes an unexpected turn as Daniel Jakor resorts to forgery, producing fake masterpieces attributed to renowned artists rather than showcasing his own original creations.
