After relocating to the serene French countryside two years ago and witnessing the hunting ban, Adelaide and Simon have found that life close to nature is both rewarding and tranquil—but also incredibly dull. Eager to make new connections, they are thrilled when Bernard’s clever, affluent son Stan and his sophisticated, aristocratic wife Bennie move into town, bringing children the same age as theirs. However, this seemingly perfect situation soon reveals itself as a Trojan horse: Stan and Bennie are passionate coursers, intent on hunting on horseback with their hounds wherever they wish. This sparks chaos. The conflict escalates into a full-scale battle as Stan acquires land, influences locals with bribes, and aims to transform the forest into an exclusive retreat for the ultra-wealthy. With support from Bernard and his old hunting comrades, can Adelaide and Simon unite the villagers and ignite a countryside uprising to protect their peaceful haven?
