With the Revolution underfoot, Marie-Madeleine disguises herself in Odette’s maid's uniform in order to covertly meet her boyfriend. Odette takes that opportunity to try on Marie’s beautiful gowns, and as the streets of Paris are overtaken by a sudden surge of violence, the two are left living each other’s lives.Will Marie survive in a world that doesn’t answer to her beck and call?
