An ambitious reporter moves to a seemingly quiet town, hoping to uncover exciting stories, but instead finds himself entangled in a series of unexpected and troubling events. As he navigates the town's secrets, he discovers that beneath its calm exterior lies a web of intrigue and danger, challenging his journalistic instincts and personal safety. The narrative explores themes of ambition, the quest for truth, and the unforeseen consequences of seeking stories in a place where nothing is as it seems.

From September 1941 until January 1944, Leningrad suffered one of the worst sieges in the history of warfare. The authors of this work have scoured letters and diaries of the period and the immediate post-war years to reveal the stories of the "blokadnitsy" (women survivors).
