Set in seventeenth‑century France against the backdrop of witch trials, political turmoil, and religious upheaval, Holy Fools follows Juliette, formerly an actress and rope‑dancer, who takes refuge in a remote abbey with her young daughter, reinventing herself as Soeur Auguste. But when a new abbess arrives—with her own dangerous influence and a man from Juliette’s past in disguise—the fragile peace unravels into intrigue, rivalry, and violence, blending historical depth with mystery and human drama.
