Paris, 1782. Pierre Choderlos de Laclos publishes Les Liaisons dangereuses (Dangerous Liaisons), a collection of letters which brings to light the decadent pleasures, unscrupulous alliances, and perverse rivalries between former lovers and expert manipulators the Marquise de Merteuil and the Vicomte de Valmont. One hundred seventy-five authentic letters revealing the correspondence of two libertines, those of their victims, and their abused witnesses. But when a series of unpublished letters resurface, Laclos discovers a new and scandalous tale filled with intrigue, unusual power plays, unknown plots, and surprising pacts.
