Far from Louis XVI's court, in Valognes, a Norman town, the local aristocracy is preparing to receive Guillaume Tremaine, a strange character, prince or privateer, returning from India. They are all unaware that this traveler's story began twenty years earlier when, fleeing Quebec besieged by the English, Guillaume and his mother took refuge in Valognes. It was there that the child lost the only person close to him and was taken in by an old sailor... But today, in the salons, all anyone talks about is the engagement of Miss Agnès de Nerville, sacrificed by her father to the old Baron d'Oise-cour, of sinister reputation! A marriage that Guillaume could prevent, if he agreed to give up the mysterious obsession for revenge that consumes him.
