This significantly heightened romantic story is set in Belle Époque Rome where three young American artists become intrigued by a young Italian (Donatello) who makes the exuberance of the sculpture of a “Marble Faun” come to life. A stranger shadows them and becomes a dark force to content with as a surprising murder complicates their relationships.
