Dorian Saul is a man who is at risk of losing everything. To secure his future Dorian has to finish the masterpiece his father started over 20 years ago, but there's a problem. Dorian is an artist who has got to know his models intimately before he can capture them on canvas, but Dorian is a connoisseur of dark delights and has a very particular taste in women. The muses Dorian requires are a rarity, and with time running out he has to find seven further women before the Saul family inheritance is lost forever. Carla is a divorcee and a runaway.

Adam has a vested interest in the completion of Dorian's masterpiece and has taken it upon himself to ensure that his brother finishes the painting, whatever the costs.
