À la veille de la bataille de Marengo, un complot se prépare contre Napoléon Bonaparte. Dans le même temps, les familles Simeuses, Hauteserre et leur cousine Laurence de Cinq-Cygne, alliées aux ultra-royalistes, projettent d'envahir la France avec les armées étrangères. Ces deux histoires vont s'entremêler dans une intrigue à la portée politique.
