Call Backs are on Thursday of this week!

“Both innocents born into criminal families, Joseph and Marie Charpentier are persecuted and pursued by family, friends, and enemies alike who mistrust their purity and would prefer to take advantage of their gentle hearts and their charity. In a whirlwind of events just before their marriage is about to take place, Joseph is accused in a desperate soul’s crime wave against his own family which, in turn, is further construed into a crime wave against the city, involving Marie, in retaliation for a scandal that supposedly existed because of Marie’s mother, Lucia’s, late husband. To make matters worse, Renaud, a man from a formerly aristocratic family is using the last of his perceived wealth in an attempt to manipulate Paris to put his family back into power. Desiring to usurp his brother, William, he attempts to use the so-called “scandal” to further his plans, trick his other brother, Robert, and Joseph’s closest friend, Cyrus, into thinking ill of Joseph and Marie, style himself a hero of the city, and take his revenge on Marie who, to him, represents everything he couldn’t have and every rejection he had ever faced.”

Joseph is a carpenter, architectural planner and overseer, opera director, soon-to-be-married consecrated perpetual virgin (to Marie Therese Bellerose Holmstrom), retired Army soldier from a criminal family who has had his life threatened by his own family, has seen his fellow soldiers commit suicide, and has seen the worst in life. Still, he has made a choice to love anyway and to see the good in people and in situations anyway- not because of his faith but because of his personal relationship with Jesus that keeps him grounded in the understanding that “peace always wins” out in the end.

Renaud is the youngest brother of a family ruled by his oldest brother, William. His parents never did much parenting and Renaud was raised by a man who believed that abuse was survival. Feeling trapped in his life, Renaud desires to take William’s power from him and make him pay for every time he shunned him or put him down or dismissed one of his ideas. He is a member of a formerly aristocratic family, and desire to be loved quickly gives way to the desire to force others to love him. In his youth, he has assisted Marie and Lucia in one of the few incidences where he did not follow William’s ideas. Marie considers him a friend and remembers that spark of hope inside of him. But soon, Marie starts to represent to Renaud all the things that were denied him in his life. He is a recently retired Navy officer who styles himself a Viscount in order to live in his brother’s mad world.

Cyrus is Joseph’s closest friend from their youth and from the Army. They saw and suffered everything together, even to the present moment. They also helped war victims at the Church together and assisted in the restoration of Paris together. When Joseph’s family had tried to kill Joseph, they tortured Cyrus and threatened to kill him if he would not do as they told him in battle. He refused and he and Joseph were set free but were dishonorably discharged. They continued to help the victims of the war when they sought aid. Cyrus sees how much the city and its people are still suffering to this day and he loses hope for humanity. He develops a disgust and mistrust- even of his friends. He wants revenge against the kind of animals who keep destroying themselves and each other over and over and over. He took what he saw personally and started to spiral. Today, we’d call it PTS. He is no longer certain if he is friend or enemy- both to others and to himself.

William is from a family who, generations ago, had been the wealthy leaders of the Burgundy County. He believes that the County was stolen from his family and that it is his sole purpose to win it back and save his family. He is a retired Navy soldier who is not afraid of hurting, stealing from, or killing anyone who gets in the way of what has become his mission. He, too, today, would be said to have PTS. After being at war and hurt by those around him, he thought less and less of society as a whole and, seeing the level of bloodshed he saw, he came to figure that, in a dog eat dog world- eat everyone, even the innocent, because “nobody is innocent”. He isolates himself in a world of his own where he is a Count. When he sees glimpses of reality, he starts to realize he is losing control of that world and lashes out at those who get in the way. When he cannot restore the County, he blames Renaud for betraying him. When he cannot figure out how to live on any further because his world is imploding around him and he is drowning in sadness, he commits suicide.

After finding out who Joseph was, she tried to get him in on her game, but he would have no part with her. Now, unbeknown to either of them, her criminal activity is putting Joseph in harm’s way because she is now robbing everyone he knows. Joseph tries to help her and she hates it when he tries because it makes her feel. She doesn’t want to feel anymore.
