Frame Story


The evil Da Vinci Code, with a bit of demonology.  B-movie Tom Hanks investigates a mysterious kidnapping that appears tied into some ancient Bosch paintings.  He discovers that they predict some kind of evil sacrifice and he has to follow clues through Satanic cults in order to figure out what the kidnappers have done with their victim.  And things get weird when at some point he finds himself painted into a landscape hundreds of years old.  Oh, and it’s told in flashback.
