| Summary: | After four years at war, the Musketeers return to a Paris seething with violence and poverty. A seemingly indifferent King has entrusted his affairs to corrupt new Governor of Paris, Philippe Feron. When he joins forces with amoral gangster and financier Lucien Grimaud, their combined hunger for legitimate power makes them a deadly threat to the people of Paris - and the Musketeers' most dangerous enemy yet. Ordered to the heart of this urban powder keg, the Musketeers are charged with preventing catastrophe. Still, they have their own battles to fight. With Paris on the brink of starvation, Grimaud and Feron join forces with the Duke of Beaufort to win the King's business by framing the city's refugees for grain theft. D'Artagnan's hot temper makes him a Red Guard target and lands him in the Châtelet with the victims, whose execution date looms. One man down, the Musketeers race to discover the truth. Spirited refugee Sylvie catches Athos' attention and he vows to prove her friends' innocence - but is he wise to trust her? With a spy in their midst, can the Musketeers break the conspirators' grip on Paris before the refugees hang?
