While attending a reception for a Velázquez exhibition at the Met, Billy Wolfram, a young, famous, and talented artist, undergoes an anxiety attack that calls into question his own artistic abilities, his identity, and his sanity. As Billy's crisis begins to threaten the completion of new works for a forthcoming show, he's visited by a talking raven who claims to have been on Noah's ark.
