In 1935, no one in the USSR is safe. Neighbors betray neighbors and friends betray friends. As four young Soviets carve out places for themselves, Anatoliy and Tonia discover the cost of power, while Mikhail and Galya learn what lengths others will go to for it. From the turmoil comes a glimmer of hope: Nadya. Amidst Stalin's dominance in 1950s Moscow, Nadya becomes increasingly ill at ease with the part she plays. As she grows, she discovers truths about her past that she can't ignore and must decide whether she will sacrifice a life of privilege to discover her roots.
