A wildly successful poet, notorious lover, political radical, wit and foreign adventurer, Byron was a figure who defined the romantic spirit of the early 19th Century in the most reckless and brazen terms. Here is a man who hurls himself into every imaginable experience but cannot find fulfillment in any of them. In five days, he rises from obscurity to superstar status, invited to parties everywhere and pursued by women determined to get close to the sexiest and most exciting man in England. But at the height of his fame, Byron throws it all away in a scandal that ultimately forced him to flee the country. After a brief fling with an Italian countess, he dies helping the Greek fight for independence. (official distributor synopsis)
