An English family find a small Viking hoard deposited on an Irish cliff top over a thousand years previously. They discover that under the law, all such treasure belongs to the State. In connivance with the landowner they resolve to take the artefacts to England for valuation; to them all, a victimless crime. Once appraised of its worth, it is decided to sell The Ballingaddy Find by auction in London. Diverse curators, experts, collectors and law breakers surround the hoard in an effort to either own or make money from it. Unbeknown to most, however, it has a secret that could jeopardise the sale. Desire beguiles but is it Cupid or cupidity?
