Karl Marx, a 26-year-old philosopher, sets out on a journey with his wife Jenny, fleeing exile. In 1844 Paris, he meets Friedrich Engels, a charismatic industrialist's son who has uncovered the grim origins of the British working-class. Engels's findings complete Marx's revolutionary worldview, and together they navigate censorship, police repression, and political turmoil to shape the modern labor movement.
