Through 175 letters, two former lovers and master manipulators—the Vicomte de Valmont and the Marquise de Merteuil—orchestrate elaborate seductions among French nobility.

United in manipulation yet rivals in ambition, they skillfully deceive those around them while preserving their reputations. But their dangerous game of masks has consequences.
