Synopsis: Jo loves to draw and she is good enough at it to win a scholarship to come to the city to study at a special art school where, more than anything else, she hopes to learn to paint like her hero Vincent Van Gogh. While randomly sketching faces one day, she encounters a mysterious European art dealer who buys a few of her drawings and commissions her to do some more. He rewards her handsomely for her work and goes back to Amsterdam. Not long after, Jo is shown a magazine story about the "discovery" and million dollar sale of some of the drawings of young Vincent Van Gogh, drawings only she and her trusty friend, Felix, know are hers. The only thing to do is for Jo and friends to get to Amsterdam and find the mystery man. Or better still, go right to the source and speak to Vincent himself in 19th century Arles.
