Ned, a philandering painter, uses Sonja as his model. But she becomes more than his model and more than an object of desire-she becomes the most inspiring muse Ned has ever known. When both Ned and her husband insist on possessing her, their jealousies threaten to erupt into violence, and Sonja must find a way to placate both men without sacrificing her hard-won sense of self.
