The Eight

Set in 1972 New York City, "The Eight" follows Catherine Velis, a mathematics enthusiast and computer expert, who is assigned to Algeria after a fortune-teller warns her of impending danger. She is approached by an antiques dealer with a mysterious opportunity: a chance to retrieve pieces of an ancient chess service for a generous reward. Parallelly, in 1790, young novices Mireille de Remy and her cousin Valentine at Montglane Abbey seek to escape their restrictive lives amidst the French Revolution, leading them to hide the powerful chess pieces of a legendary game.
