However, when Heir and Vain are arrested for painting, their secret identities are revealed and creative outlets are abruptly severed. Faced with restitution and the prospect of serving hard time, Heir and Vain struggle to maintain their creative passion. The paths they choose threaten to unravel their lifelong friendship and, ultimately, their lives.
