A powerful, capricious landowner rules his estate with extravagance and impunity, treating neighbors, servants and villagers as instruments of his will. A formerly cordial relationship with a neighboring gentleman fractures after a public humiliation at a hunting lodge, setting in motion legal manipulations and the dispossession of the weaker family. The dispossessed son responds by rejecting legal means and forming an oppositional force that challenges the landowner’s authority, while personal loyalties and a fraught romantic attachment complicate the struggle. The narrative examines abuse of privilege, the limits of law, social inequality and the moral ambiguities of revenge.
