Two brothers, reunited. Portland, Oregon.

Meet Stone Lewis. A man famous as an image of himself after a photo of him saving an infant from an airplane crash locates him in the limelight. A man who climbs the ladder of success to become a top executive at an elite media agency, where image is everything. A man whose assets are seized when his company is under investigation by the SEC. A man coming home to work at his father's liquor store.

Meet Derrick. The brother who stayed home, the brother who's wife left him for another woman, the brother who loses himself and converts to Islam, the teacher about to lose his job, the writer whose book will never be published, the man with too many cats. A broken man at the end of his rope.

Sometimes the end of your rope is just the beginning.

As two brothers’ lives intertwine, Stone tries to remake Derrick in his own image in the hopes of resurrecting his manhood. But when Tamara, a mutual love interest, comes between them, Stone’s attempts to save his brother take an unexpected turn, and brotherly love meets its alter image.

Doubling a love triangle from their past, Stone, Tamara, and Derrick find themselves hopelessly entangled. The more Stone tries to save his brother, the farther he gets from the truth of who each of them are. And love makes a rope with a knot at the top.

When the image of a man collides with his identity, which survives? The image or the man?

The Iconographer plays out a family drama between brothers that shows us what the costs are of trying to be an image of someone we’re not . . . sometimes to violent ends.
