We'll make them surrender totally to our will, force them into perfect obedience while we punish them for the crime of tormenting you.

This is a story of France, during the rule of Napoleon. Although the Revolution brought with it new laws and some semblance of representative government, there are some places that never change: the dark holes known as prison. Into that hell a boy called Guys is sent. The crime is murder, and the sentence, life without the possibility of parole.
