On the snowy streets of what was once called Saint Petersburg and is now called Leningrad, Anya wakes up with no memory of where she came from or who her family is. She finds a job and manages to survive under the new tyrannical government, but at the same time, rumors spread across Russia about the lost princess Anastasia, and whether or not she survived the attack on her family. With the help of Dmitry and Vlad, two shady but charming conmen, Anya embarks on a journey to Paris in search of a home, love, and family that she has forgotten.
