Painter Basil Hallward makes a superb portrait of a rich, young and beautiful man, Dorian Gray. He does not want Dorian to meet lord Henry Wotton, a friend of Basil's, because he has a bad reputation and Basil does not want Dorian to be influenced by him. Basil's fears are well-founded. Henry and Dorian meet and the young man's life is changed forever.
