"A tale of love, evanescence, and evil, which does its utmost to entrap human souls."

The Contract

It is the winter of 1837. The fates of two men become intertwined by their affection for the same woman. One of them, Alexander, is a poet. The other is a French Baron named George d'Anthes. The choices they make are complicated by the appearance of a sinister and mysterious stranger. "We are wandering in a maze where the only exit has been bricked up" - in a dark court corridor a silent whisper can be heard. Trapped in court intrigues, the men are forced into a duel of honor.
