Lucie Manette’s life changes overnight when a messenger appears out of nowhere and tells her that her father, whom she thought had been dead for eighteen years, is indeed alive in Paris. Very quickly, the man is accused of espionage, leaving the young woman no other choice than to join forces with a lawyer who is as brilliant as he is tormented to exonerate him. Embroiled in the whirlwind of history, their destinies irremediably intertwine between London and Paris even as the whole of France is on the verge of going up in flames.
