Set in fifteenth-century Aquitaine during English occupation, the story follows a countryside terrorized by Le Gros Guillem, a feared freebooter who raids from his stronghold at Domme. When desperate peasants rally under local leader Ogier del' Peyra to fight back, Guillem's daughter Noémi—a spirited beauty turned bandit—must choose between her father's violent world and her love for Ogier's son.
