A Victorian gentleman is forced by illness to entertain himself with the family archive and he uncovers the Regency-era correspondence and diaries of one Miles Lufton MP - apparently a black sheep of the family connected with a scandal long buried.

Miles longs to dispose of his disreputable alter ego but that way lies calamity...
