What if the 1832 June Rebellion never took place? It's now late in 1834 and Julien Enjolras is losing faith in his cause and the loyalty of his friends. But then the unexpected appearance of a young woman has an irreversible effect on not only his life, but on the lives of the Amis. She is not a cause, but a trigger, a trigger that will set off a very different version of events.

The revolution is just around the corner, and Enjolras has his heads in the clouds... about a girl? A brave, stubborn street gamine named Matilda. Not once in his life has he thought about love, except for his love for France. Will Matilda corrupt all of his plans?
