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.
