Paris, 6 juillet 1815. Le peuple français est inquiet pour son avenir : Napoléon ayant été vaincu à Waterloo, le pays se retrouve sans dirigeant. Talleyrand, ancien ministre des Affaires étrangères, invite à dîner dans son hôtel Fouché, ancien ministre de la Police et actuel chef du gouvernement provisoire, pour en discuter et choisir un nouveau souverain pour la France. Commence alors un long duel verbal entre les deux hommes : Talleyrand pense qu'il faut revenir à la monarchie et mettre Louis XVIII sur le trône, Fouché hésite car il a autrefois voté l’exécution de Louis XVI et craint que son frère Louis XVIII le lui fasse payer. Fouché propose tour à tour Napoléon II, Louis Philippe d'Orléans ou le retour à la république mais Talleyrand reste campé sur sa position. La joute tourne au règlement de comptes lorsque chacun commence à évoquer les crimes que l'autre a commis pour gravir les échelons.
