Synopsis

In 18th-century France, the notorious Duke of Avon, known as 'Satanas,' buys a young orphan named Leon, unaware that Leon is actually Leonie, a girl disguised as a boy. Leonie serves the Duke with devotion, but he soon suspects her true identity and plans to use her in a scheme to reclaim her birthright and exact revenge on her wicked father. As Leonie blossoms under his care, the Duke finds himself unexpectedly drawn to her, even as his dangerous plan is already in motion.
