Guy Lemon is a still life artist who believes the only reason he hasn't sold a single painting is because he is "too far ahead of his time". In a case of mistaken identity, Guy is believed to be dead and his last work, a half finished pear, is misinterpreted as a naked pregnant woman and hailed as a masterpiece. With the help of Shep, a shyster opportunist with day dreams of his own, Guy embarks on a madcap mission to correct the misperception and show the world his true genius. Along the way, he must overcome deception and delusion to ultimately find self-acceptance and maybe even Love.
