Dennis Quaid and Kate Bosworth star in Crackle's The Art of More.

Sony's Crackle streaming service will launch a new drama on Nov. 19 that explores the behind-the-scenes of a high-end auction house and it comes with a bit of gunfire. The network describes The Art of More, its first scripted series, as showing “the underbelly and surprisingly cutthroat world of auction houses, which are filled with hustlers, smugglers, power mongers, and collectors of the beautiful and the bizarre.”

The ten-episode series stars Christian Cooke as Graham Connor, a former soldier whose tour in Iraq comes with connections to a smuggling ring which in turn gives him a leg into high society. Dennis Quaid is the show's executive producer and stars as Samuel Brukner, “a Machiavellian master of money and power who is one part charm and one part intimidation. He is the life of the party but when it comes to his money, he can be both ruthless and corrupt.”

The cast of The Art of More: Dennis Quaid, Christian Cooke, Kate Bosworth, Cary Elwes.

Blonde beauty Kate Bosworth is Roxanna Whitman, the scion of a leading auction house. The Princess Bride star Cary Elwes gets to play the role of Arthur Davenport, “a shrewd and eccentric world-class collector of art and illegal antiquities" who becomes a mentor to Connor, the aspiring former soldier played by Cooke.

Crackle, a unit of Sony Pictures Television, is free and accessible without a subscription. View the trailer here.
