Mexico, early 19th century. Hundreds of French traders—adventurous souls—cross the Atlantic and land in the port of this mysterious North American country. They dream of striking it rich and establishing a vast trading power here.

Among these courageous men is Pierre Arnaud, a native of the Barcelonnette Valley. Leaving France, he feels nothing but a burning hatred for himself and his actions. In Mexico, he plans to reinvent himself, so that no one will guess the burden he bears. But love for a married woman thwarts his plans, forcing him to make a difficult choice.

Meanwhile, in Mexico, a nation is being born in turmoil: Creoles and Indians are attempting to overthrow Spanish colonial rule. And the outcome of this confrontation will determine the future of Pierre Arnaud and other Frenchmen like him, who have risked everything for a better life.

Coups d'état, love affairs, ruined destinies – all this in a fascinating historical saga that spans the entire 19th century.
