  to the gallery. Yet as his career begins to flourish\, the carnage of the
  AIDS epidemic grows around him. One by one\, his friends are dying and af
 ter his friend Nico's funeral\, the virus circles closer and closer to Yal
 e himself. Soon the only person he has left is Fiona\, Nico's little siste
 r. Thirty years later\, Fiona is in Paris tracking down her estranged daug
 hter who disappeared into a cult. While staying with an old friend\, a fam
 ous photographer who documented the Chicago crisis\, she finds herself fin
