Setting:
It’s the Victorian era and quite a stir has been
generated in artistic circles as news swept through
that the ninth Knocktoff painting surfaced a few weeks
ago after being missing for more than 100 years. Though
it is worth a fortune, its rumored curse has struck
fear in all but one potential buyer – Mac O’Bray,
a disfigured recluse that collects objects d’art
macabre. Intrigued by the history of the curse, O’Bray
put out word to selected buyers that he would pay $1
BILLION DOLLARS to the individual that procures the
painting and brings it to him.
Plucky buyers from all
over the world willing to risk the curse are now assembling
at the Art Auction to sell pieces from their personal
collections and to raise money by any means possible
in hopes of acquiring enough cash to make the winning
bid for the Knocktoff piece.
Will they get the Knocktoff
or will they get knocked off….? Time will tell….
