Description:
The time: 1987, after the stock market crisis. The setting: a high-priced, low-scruples gallery in Boston where the value of a work of art is measured strictly in terms of the price it might command. Our guide through this milieu is Fred Layton, a Southern-born Princeton graduate whose job consists mainly of trying to charm rich Boston socialites into buying overpriced old maps and prints. He excels at his job but struggles to hide both his less-than-affluent background and sexual preferences. Hypocrisy and humor abound in this parody of the worlds of high art and high social standing.
