With a large fortune, a beautiful palatial home in Petrograd and a husband who loves her, her future is bright.

When the revolutionaries threaten to shoot Sophia and her husband Dmitry, they are saved by a young man - Nikolai, Dmitry's brother, a fervent supporter of the Bolshevik party, estranged from his family because of his political beliefs. As Russia descends into the chaos of revolution, Sophia and Nikolai grow close.
