THE AFFAIR OF THE NECKLACE

“Her birthright was stolen. Her dignity taken. Her rights denied. Deception was the only option.”

In pre-Revolutionary France, a young aristocratic woman left penniless by the political unrest in the country, must avenge her family's fall from grace by scheming to steal a priceless necklace.
