Jerome Platz, played by Max Minghella, enrolls at Strathmore Art School with the ambition of refining his drawing and painting skills to claim his title as the greatest artist of the 21st century. He finds himself amidst a cast of colorful art school characters, while a chilling atmosphere looms over the campus due to a lurking strangler who has tragically taken the lives of several young female art students.

As Jerome delves into his artistic journey, his heart is captured by the enchanting Audrey, portrayed by Sophia Myles, an older student who poses for art classes. As their friendship blossoms, Jerome learns that Audrey is the daughter of an esteemed artist. However, her affections seem to be directed toward the straight-laced Jonah, played by Matt Keeslar, whose bold and expansive artistic style contrasts sharply with Jerome’s more traditional approach.

While his professors, including the insightful John Malkovich as Professor Sandford, provide him with little more than nebulous guidance and consolation, Jerome finds camaraderie with the older, deeply talented painter, Jimmy, portrayed by Jim Broadbent. Jimmy’s artwork is infused with darkness, a quality that intrigues Jerome as it starkly opposes his own optimistic perspective.

Jerome soon faces a pivotal moment: upon discovering that Audrey does not share his romantic feelings, he resorts to claiming Jimmy’s profound art as his own. However, he is taken aback by an unexpected undercover situation arising, which could turn out to be a remarkable turning point, potentially the worst yet most transformative experience of his artistic career.
