SYNOPSIS
Paris trembles on the brink of revolution. The aristocracy bleeds the common people dry while King Louis XVI turns a blind eye to their suffering. Into this powder keg steps Simone, a masked vigilante driven by a personal vendetta: the nobility murdered her family, and she intends to make them answer. By night, she becomes La Seine no Hoster, a crimson-cloaked phantom who strikes at corrupt nobles with surgical precision, always leaving a red carnation as her signature. Each operation chips away at the foundation of the old regime, rallying the desperate masses to hope for change. But revolution is a dangerous game. Simone must balance her quest for vengeance with the weight of an entire nation's freedom, all while staying one step ahead of those hunting the masked avenger. This is a period action series where personal justice and historical upheaval collide. Romance simmers beneath the shadow of her mission, adding complexity to her choices. It's for viewers who crave swashbuckling adventure wrapped in 1970s romance and the chaos of a world about to shatter.
