Cantara, a socially ambitious African-American woman, is married to a wealthy white New York artist whose star has fallen as rapidly as it rose, and who on this day is nowhere to be found.

But what she doesn't know is that her husband has already cut a deal, sealing her fate.

THEMES: Objectification of women; objectification of women of color; we project onto people in the same way we project onto works of art, ignoring the intention of the person or the artist; white people try to do the right thing even when they don't understand and end up doing the wrong thing; "Why would you put something valuable in a vulnerable place?"
