Paris, 1832. Amélie has spent her life watching the poor suffer while the wealthy look away. After losing her mother to an illness that could have been treated had they possessed the money, she has little faith in love, even less in marriage, and none at all in the men that claim to know what's best for her. She and her father survive in a weathered cottage on the outskirts of the city, making do with what little they have. Everything changes when she befriends Gavroche, a fearless street boy whose boundless optimism leads her to the secret meetings of Les Amis de l'ABC. There she meets Enjolras. Born into privilege but devoted to the people, Enjolras lives only for the revolution. To him, Amélie is reckless, infuriating, and a distraction from the cause. To her, he is arrogant, stubborn, and far too willing to decide who deserves to fight. As Paris marches towards rebellion, so do their hearts. What begins as resentment slowly becomes admiration, then love- but revolutions demand sacrifice, and love offers no protection from fate. When the barricades finally rise, Amélie refuses to stand aside. Together, she and Enjolras make their final stand, fighting not only for the France they dream of, but for one another, until the very last shot is fired.

Todo arranca con el secreto de un pozo abandonado en los cerros del Estado de México y tres estudiantes de último año de secundaria pública atrapados en una red de paranoia. Sin embargo, en el barrio la impunidad tiene fecha de caducidad: ¿bastará el peso de ese cadáver flotando en la oscuridad para que la fachada de complicidad se desmorone, arrastrando consigo la culpa de un crimen atroz en el monte y la caída de quienes creían que el dinero los hacía intocables? Un laberinto criminal que, irónicamente, comenzó en la paz de una tarde soleada en el patio de la escuela Basada en las antiguas películas mexicanas para jóvenes de los 2000s y en la novela de Víctor Hugo "Los Miserables"

You are one of many people in France who (hardly) make a living as a beggar. Street corners have become your home, kind words become a rarity, and while you have often heard talk of revolution, it wasn't until much later that you were finally able attend one of the meetings led by some freedom-thirsty schoolboys. It was only then that you officially decided to become part of this revolution... and you soon realized how great of a love you held for both a man and for France. *** Note: I do not own any of the characters from Les Misérables! They are all a part of the work by Victor Hugo (who is a really great author)... also, while I do own some portions of the plot, this is primarily based off of the order from musical.
