Throughout the series, our characters compromise their morals and safety to gain control in the kingdom of Haiti. Although the show has multiple protagonists, the driving arc is that of Léonie Bijoux. A newcomer to this world of influence, Léo is unsure how she feels about it. But as Léo's wealth and status grows, she begins to sacrifice her principles in order to obtain a position as the royal clothier—a prestigious title where one faux pas can lead to execution.
