Owen Burr, a towering athlete at Stanford University, was destined to compete in the Athens Olympic Games of 2004. But in his final match at Stanford, he is blinded in one eye. The wound shatters his identity and any prospects he had as an athlete. Determined to make a new name for himself, Owen flees the country and lands in Berlin, where he meets a group of wildly successful artists. Owen is quickly welcomed by the group’s leader, who schemes to appropriate Owen’s image and sell the results at Art Basel.
