He loses status, power and home when he refuses to denounce his own wife, Raisa, as a traitor.
Exiled from Moscow to a grim provincial outpost, Leo and Raisa join forces with General Mikhail Nesterov to track down a serial killer who preys on young boys.
Their quest for justice threatens a system-wide coverup enforced by Leo’s psychopathic rival, Vasili, who insists that “there is no crime in Paradise.”
