Paris, 1340. Adored by his mother, mistreated by a tyrannical father, young Louis Ruest aspires to become a master baker, like all his ancestors.

Fate decides otherwise and leads him to become the most feared executioner in the kingdom, a tormented man whose quest for revenge will find a biblical echo in the madness of his time.
