As Georges Seurat works on his most famous painting, "A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte," his mistress, Dot, threatens to leave him, and later in the show, his great-grandson struggles to succeed as an artist and to understand those around him and those who have made him who he is today.
