Paul Gregory is a blind yet successful pop music composer, married to the beautiful Anne Gregory.

To keep things discreet while nurturing their liaison, Anne persuades Rickie to paint her portrait, a harmless-seeming pretext that would allow them to steal away for private moments without raising suspicion.
