In the year 1815, within the confines of Marseille, Edmond Dantès finds himself incarcerated for a crime he didn’t commit. Enduring 14 years of imprisonment, he eventually engineers his escape, embarking on a meticulously crafted quest for vengeance. Assuming multiple identities – “the Count of Monte Cristo” among them – Dantès first courts his enemies, now highly placed dignitaries, the better to strike them down. But the price of revenge is heavy for one’s soul.
