Set in 17th-century Florence, Italy, capital of the Grand Duchy of Tuscany. A city of Renaissance grandeur, aristocratic wealth, religious devotion, and rigid social hierarchy.

Under the Legge dell'uomo, women are legally deprived of all independent rights, authority, and ownership. Wealth, political influence, property, and legal power belong exclusively to men. A woman's life remains under the control of her father, husband, or closest male relative, with little say over her own future.

Become a man and enjoy the privileges of a society built to favor you, wielding its wealth, authority, and influence. Or become a woman and navigate a world designed to deny you independence, discovering how far your own determination, circumstances, and relationships can take you before society, or your own family, decides your fate.
