political thriller and also a tale of love, friendship
and betrayal set in the twilight of a winter in St.

his home town in a new Russia and finds his best friend
murdered, the love of his youth in a psychiatric hospital
and his ex-communist father turned corrupt politician and
shady businessman.After a bizarre chain of events, things
begin to look very different from what they first
appeared to be.
