Acting as destiny’s agent, Dantès must face not only his enemies, but also the moral dilemmas raised by his ruthless quest for justice. With skill and ruthlessness, he manipulates those around him to do his bidding, leaving a trail of social carnage in his wake. Can the man, who once had so much to live for, complete his mission and find peace, or will fate thwart his plan at the very end?
