The story

In Imperial Russia, Tsar Paul I rules through fear, paranoia, and erratic cruelty. A tyrant haunted by dread, Paul lives in constant suspicion of everyone around him, believing that he, like some of his ancestors, is doomed to be assassinated. Despite his mistrustful nature, he places intermittent trust in one man: Count Pahlen, his Prime Minister.
