Story: |
In early-1953 Moscow, under the Great Terror's heavy cloak of state paranoia,
the ever-watchful Soviet leader, Joseph Stalin, collapses unexpectedly of a
brain haemorrhage. Inevitably, when his body is discovered in the following
morning, a frenetic surge of raw panic spreads like a virus in the senior
members of the Council of Ministers, as they scramble to maintain order, weed
out the competition, and, ultimately, take power. But in the middle of a
gut-wrenching roller-coaster of incessant plotting, tireless machinations, and
frail allegiances, absolutely no one is safe; not even the feared chief of the
secret police, Lavrenti Beria. In the end, who will prevail after the death of
Stalin?
