Set in pre-Revolutionary Paris, the story follows Guillaume de Toulon, a young businessman who quietly builds a fast-growing “convenient meal” enterprise while hiding the fact that he knows the future. His goal is simple: survive the coming chaos and keep control in a society already starting to crack. When a severe cold snap triggers a grain shortage, Guillaume’s business—and the livelihoods tied to it—are suddenly at risk. Scrambling for solutions pulls him into markets, salons, and uncomfortable encounters with power, ideology, and prejudice, including a fateful meeting with Thomas Jefferson. What begins as a practical struggle over food and survival slowly reveals a larger question: in a world on the brink of upheaval, can a single person stay neutral—or will every choice become political?
