Londres, de nos jours Le jour ou Annie McDee, jeune cuisiniere sans le sou, debarque dans la boutique crasseuse d'un antiquaire, a la recherche d'un cadeau pour son petit-ami, elle ne se doute pas que: 1) son petit-ami va la plaquer; 2) la toile poussiereuse de 45x60 cm, qu'elle vient d'acquerir pour 75, scellera a jamais son destin. Car ce qu'Annie transporte dans un sac en plastique n'est pas une vague croute. C'est un chef-d' uvre mythique du XVIIIe siecle, une toile realisee par le maitre francais Antoine Watteau; un tableau intitule L'Improbabilite de l'amour, qui a connu les salons des plus grands de ce monde avant de disparaitre mysterieusement au milieu du XXe siecle, pour reapparaitre tout aussi inexplicablement dans cette boutique miteuse... Interpellee par la beaute du tableau, Annie s'interroge: que tient-elle reellement entre ses mains ? Aidee de Jesse, un jeune guide passionne, et d'une specialiste de Watteau, la modeste cuisiniere au c ur tendre entreprend de decouvrir la secrete et terrible histoire de cette toile. Et se retrouve catapultee dans les arcanes du monde de l'art... Oligarque russe, rappeur esthete, roi du petrole, star du sport, marchand d'art sans scrupules, collectionneurs de tous bords, tous nourrissent le meme fantasme: faire main-basse sur l'inestimable chef-d' uvre. Tous les coups sont permis; tous les reves sont possibles... Mais si L'Improbabilite de l'amour a le pouvoir de changer la vie de celui qui la possede, elle peut egalement rendre fou celui qui la convoite."
