Reimagined tales from our childhood... to fuel our deepest fears! A retired executioner emerges from seclusion to seek vengeance for his beloved Marie, brutally slain. Paired with an eccentric yet charming young man, they embark on a quest to uncover the truth behind their young protege's murder. Together, this unlikely duo delves into the investigation, confronting haunting memories of the notorious Executioner of Portneuf.
Alcide Paquet, a vibrant character introduced in The Princess and the Pea, disillusioned by the ineptitude of the authorities, dons his executioner's garb to mete out justice. Reluctantly aided by Red, a volatile and whimsical youth, he finds his convictions tested and his chains shattered. Amidst the chaos, he glimpses a life he's long been denied.
