Everything seems to be going well for him: he is engaged to the beautiful Mercedes and has a bright future ahead. However, envy and betrayal make a ruthless appearance when his best friend Fernand, along with other rivals, devises a plan to incriminate him.

He returns to society as the Count of Monte Cristo, determined to deliver his personal justice and dismantle the lives of those who betrayed him. But as his revenge unfolds, Edmond will also begin to wonder if his quest for retribution is worth more than the redemption and love he left behind.
