Theresa Bateman, a struggling art historian, receives a single tarot card in the mail. The image is unmistakably the work of celebrated avant-garde artist Lark Ringold, and its discovery would mean a breakthrough in Theresa's career. Sixty years earlier in England, Lark and his twin sister Nell join a bohemian commune the Shown. Just beneath the Shown's golden surface are secrets that, if revealed, threaten to erupt into chaos. What begins as the tale of one artist and the battle over his legacy unspools into a web of passion, violence, and deceit.
