After eighteen years as a political prisoner in the Bastille
the aging Dr Manette is finally released and reunited with
his daughter in England. There two very different men,
Charles Darnay, an exiled French aristocrat, and Sydney
Carton, a disreputable but brilliant English lawyer, become
enmeshed through their love for Lucie Manette. From the
tranquil lanes of London, they are all drawn against their
will to the vengeful, bloodstained streets of Paris at the
height of the Reign of Terror and soon fall under the lethal
shadow of La Guillotine.
