Charles Darnay, a French aristocrat, flees to England to escape the violence of his noble family's past, only to be drawn back into the chaos of his homeland. Lucie Manette, the daughter of a former prisoner of the Bastille, becomes the emotional anchor for those around her, including the brilliant but disillusioned lawyer Sydney Carton.

As the revolution intensifies, lives are torn apart, and Carton makes a selfless sacrifice that will change the fate of those he loves. In this timeless tale of struggle, identity, and the power of selfless love, Dickens weaves a powerful tale of resurrection and hope in the face of darkness.
