Ben hopes to build his future as an art dealer with this amazing find. But the start of World War II, followed by the onerous laws passed against Italian Jews, throws Ben's life into turmoil. The sketch...is stolen in Rome by a Gestapo agent...the Bacchus sketch is lost in the madness of war... More than 60 years later, when a prestigious Manhattan auction house offers the drawings for sale, it falls to Ben's granddaughter to try to prove that the Bacchus sketch rightfully belongs to her family."
