"Frederick" is the story of a high profile yet sardonic painter and art gallery owner who suffers from an intense version of “artist’s block.” However, his passion reignites when he has an idea for a new show, with his subject being the exploitation of beauty in society. To his surprise, he receives an unexpected visit from an intimidating yet oblivious policeman, Detective Marks, who interrogates him about the disappearance of several young fashion models. Frederick and Marks play a game of cat and mouse, culminating in a mysterious exhibition that both horrifies and entertains.
