At the height of Napoleon’s reign, Vidocq – the only man who successfully broke out from two high-security prisons – is a legend. Left for dead after his latest dazzling escape, the ex-con is laying low as a modest cloth merchant.Caught up by his past, he’s being framed by his former cellmates for a murder he didn’t commit. To prove his innocence and his good faith, he makes a deal with the police: he hunts down all the thieves and murderers in the streets of Paris, in exchange for his grace.From convict to sheriff… Vidocq becomes, without intending to, the Emperor of Paris.
