Synopsis:
Centuries
ahead
of
her
time,
Jean
de
la
Motte-Valois,
was
a
beguiling,
unconventional
woman
who
broke
all
the
rules
and
masterminded
an
ingenious
and
perilous
conspiracy
that
scandalously
incriminated
the
rich
and
famous;
it
may
well
have
paved
the
way
to
the
guillotine
for
Queen
Marie
Antoinette
and
King
Louis
XVI--dismantling
800
years
of
absolute
monarchy.
Set
in
the
waning
years
of
the
18th
century,
the
tale,
based
on
true
events,
centers
on
Jeanne
and
her
quest
to
discover
what
was
so
unjustly
taken
from
her.
Aristocrat
Jeanne
is
tragically
orphaned
by
her
parents,
direct
descendents
of
Henry
II.
Her
only
inheritance
is
a
tattered
genealogical
chart
proving
her
noble
origins.
Jeanne's
passionate
life
mission
becomes
to
take
her
rightful
place
at
the
Royal
Court.
During
her
quest,
she
discovers
that
her
family
was
torn
apart
by
the
treacherously
fickle,
royal
politics
preceding
the
French
Revolution.
To
avenge
her
family,
she
fixates
upon
stealing
a
spectacular
2,8000
carat
diamond
necklace.
