Against a background of revolution in France, and amid the ongoing struggle for social justice, Jean Valjean’s daughter, Cosette grew to adulthood. But even the turmoil of her childhood—born illegitimate, unwillingly abandoned by her mother, beloved by her adopted father with whom she lived in hiding—could not prepare her for tumult to come.
Twenty years later she finds herself living in a crumbling beach house, the last remnant of her family’s wealth. Here, with her embittered aunt, her vacant mother, her failed-gambler husband, she tries to offer her sons some shred of opportunity. A visitor from the past, the attorney, Hoolihan, will obtrude on Claire’s present.
