Gankutsuou Plot Synopsis
The following information may contain spoilers.
Although based on Alexander Dumas' famous classic of revenge, Gankutsuou is a new retelling of the series that sets it in the distant future, and spins its yarn through the eyes of a young and idealistic Albert. Albert, a member of the Parisian upper class, has already gotten jaded with life and in an attempt to spice things up, goes on a trip with his best friend, Franz, to a carnival on Luna. There he encounters the fabulously wealthy recluse, the Count of Monto Cristo, who, when Albert is kidnapped and held for ransom, ponies up the money to save the young man's life. Believing only the best in his mysterious benefactor, Albert invites the Count into his circle of friends and life in Paris. Little does he realize that the Count has only one goal: revenge upon the three men who wronged him, casting him in prison and stealing him away the love of his life. And revenge is a dish best served cold...
