In a world filled with art, intrigue, and a touch of madness, a charismatic yet somewhat clumsy art dealer finds himself embroiled in a complex plot involving a famous stolen painting. With his unmistakable British style and a mustache that has almost become a character in its own right, the protagonist, Charlie Mortdecai, is a businessman who is more clever in navigating problems than he appears. When a valuable portrait of a deceased artist goes missing, the British police enlist his help in the investigation, but Mortdecai has his own motives and a bit of personal ambition.
