In 1782 London, Lucie Manette's life changes when she learns her presumed-dead father may be alive in Paris; she enlists erratic lawyer Sydney Carton to free the imprisoned messenger, French émigré Charles Darnay, sparking a complex love triangle.
As Lucie builds a new life for her father in London, Sydney and Charles face off for her affection; she loves both but must choose one; the Revolution arrives in Paris: after a battle in the streets, vengeful Thérèse makes a discovery in La Bastille.
As the Revolution descends into bloodshed, Charles is arrested in Paris; desperate to save him, Lucie turns to Sydney Carton—but at Charles' trial, a revelation changes everything; as Thérèse seeks vengeance, Sydney weighs up an epic sacrifice.
