Vincent's journey of self discovery begins as the artist finds inspiration from his landlady, her daughter and a fellow boarder, a struggling artist who sees beauty in every day objects. This is a house full of secrets and as Van Gogh begins to see things in new ways, his destructive nature takes hold.
