An Italian descendant of Byron's thenmistress learns of the sketchbook's existence and claims a familial right to own it. The men meet. Ownership rights ensue leading to blackmail over the book seller's homosexuality with far-reaching consequences.
One man is prepared to do whatever it takes to own the valuable book; the other will do all he can to make it his.
