- 1850 Saint-Pierre, a forgotten small island near Canada. Neel Auguste is found guilty and condemned to death, but in Saint-Pierre there is neither guillotine nor executioner to carry out the sentence. While waiting for a guillotine to arrive from France, Neel is placed under the custody of the Captain and his wife, Madame La.
