Patrick Castingway is an American portrait artist who travels the country spending weeks at a time living with, and learning about, the people whose portrait he will be painting next. Hoping to better represent them on canvas, he focuses his attention not so much on the outward beauty of his subjects, but the beauty within them. We all strive for harmony in our lives, but in life there is always conflict rising or receding, and with each new stop he invariably gets pulled into theirs. And, it is at some of the lowest points in life that we reveal our truest selves. From one place to the next he shares their joy and sorrow, their laughter and tears. Some visits more contentious than others but in the end, in some small way, he helps them find resolution, which for years is something he's searched for himself but until now has been unable to find.
