Set in imperial Russia, the play follows Vera, a barmaid who transforms into the Nihilists' top assassin after her brother is imprisoned. When she discovers that Alexis, her fellow revolutionary and love interest, is actually the heir to the throne, she faces an impossible choice between loyalty to the cause and matters of the heart.

themes of political violence, love, and sacrifice against a backdrop of revolutionary turmoil. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
