The Picture of You follows the adventures of a depressed airline ticket agent who comes face to face with the object of his desire, the woman from a painting he's had on his bedroom wall since childhood. But, as our unsuspecting hero soon learns, sometimes what is seen is not always what it appears to be.  He is helped along the way by his sardonic buddy and a mysteriously whimsical Siren dressed as a Las Vegas showgirl.
