"There is no crime"
Stalin's Soviet Union strives to be a paradise for its
workers, providing for all of their needs. One of its fundamental pillars
is that its citizens live fee from the fear of ordinary crime and criminals.
But in this society, millions live in fear...of the State.
Death is a whisper away. The mere suspicion of ideological
disloyalty--owning a book from the decadent West, the wrong word at the wrong
time--sends millions of innocents into the Gulags or to their executions.
Defending the system from its citizens is the MGB, the State Security Force.
And no MGB officer is more courageous, conscientious, or idealistic than Leo
Demidov.
A war hero with a beautiful wife, Leo lives in relative
luxury in Moscow, even providing a decent apartment for his parents. His
only ambition has been to serve his country. For this greater good, he has
arrested and interrogated.
Then the impossible happens. A different kind of
criminal--a murderer--is on the loose, killing at will. At the same time,
Leo finds himself demoted and denounced by his enemies, his world turned upside
down, and every belief he's ever held shattered. The only way to save his
life and the lives of his family is to uncover this criminal. |
