Set in Les Halles, the massive central market of 19th-century Paris, it follows Florent, an escaped political prisoner who returns to his half-brother's family seeking refuge. They secure him work as a fish inspector, but his involvement in a socialist plot threatens his freedom. Zola's vivid descriptions capture the atmosphere of the market halls and working-class life, including the famous "Cheese Symphony" passage with its ingenious orchestral metaphors.
