Art critic John Ruskin and his wife Effie invite the young artist John Everett Millais to join them on a trip to the Scottish Highlands, unwittingly setting the stage for what would become one of the greatest scandals of Victorian England. As painful secrets of the Ruskins’ marriage emerge, Effie finds refuge in her growing friendship with Millais. A gripping exploration of love, repression, betrayal, at the crossroads of art, morality, and personal freedom.
