Jazz-age Paris was the center of the artistic and literary world,
and the center of the center was Gertrude Stein’ s salon, where
the famous and aspiring creative talents gathered to gawk at
Stein’ s Picassos and vie for status. Young Midwesterner Ida
Caine arrives in Paris with her husband Teddy, a would-be Hemingway
who thinks he can adventure first and write later. When Teddy falls
in with the Stein set, he brings Ida to the salon, where she is
shunted into a corner with the wives of famous men. She burns with
resentment and wonders if she can ever develop into a real artist
herself. A few days later, Gertrude Stein’ s partner Alice B.
Toklas vanishes.Stein calls upon Teddy to investigate. Soon after,
he vanishes. Forced to seek out her missing husband, Ida follows
his trail through a milieu including strange Surrealist rituals,
Tarot card readings, and the catacombs beneath the city. She falls
in with a young American poet, T.S. Eliot. An unlikely passion
grows while they seek answers to the shocking disappearances.
