"Her face was displayed on my canvas, clear as day. The way I had painted her was like nothing ever before. The painting was more than I could have expected. I had to see her again." Miles Hall is a young artist living in the heart of New York City. As he aspires to be named one of the top painters in modern art, he is faced with a lack of inspiration. As Miles searches for his muse, unexpected events lead him to a new kind of beauty - one that couldn't be portrayed on a canvas. "Abstract" is a story of how a man rises to the top of stardom, and yet still on his endless hunt for a single muse.
