Synopsis

This soaring, action-packed journey of heroism and sacrifice, in the sweeping tradition of "Black Book" and "The Red Baron", follows one crusading journalist's desperate fight to uncover the horrors buried within the infamous Nazi siege of Leningrad in the savage winter of 1941. With the enemy's grip closing ever tighter on the war-ravaged city, a makeshift band of survivors must battle to stay alive and fight for the ultimate prize: their freedom.

Inspired by true events, this is the tale of the tragedy that befell Leningrad during one of the longest and most destructive sieges in history.
