The Emperor of Paris

In early 19th century France, François Vidocq, a former convict notorious for his criminal exploits, hides in plain sight within the bustling city of Paris, seeking refuge from his haunted past. Struggling to leave behind the violent life that defined him, Vidocq's tenuous peace is shattered when he unwittingly becomes entangled with the ambitious police chief. The ensuing confrontation leads Vidocq to a fateful choice: embrace his former life as an unyielding force against the city's rising criminal underworld or succumb to the darkness that has pursued him relentlessly. As the stakes rise, Vidocq finds himself entwined in a labyrinthine web of power and deception, ultimately confronting his own demons and the reality he thought he had escaped.
