Nicholas and Alexandra. The Tsar , his wife, and their five children remain stuck inside this house, surrounded by Bolshevik guards. As the kitchen boy, he works to smuggle secret notes from the Tsar to the nuns that bring them supplies, and those nuns in turn bring the notes to a group of people loyal to the Romanov family, who are trying to find a way to rescue them.

As these notes keep getting passed back and forth, a plan is drawn up to help the Romanov family escape from the House of Special Purpose. The days draw nearer and nearer but at the last second, the Tsar decides that an attempt to escape from the House of Special Purpose would be too risky and that his family could die.

A new commander of the Bolsheviks then arrives at the building and takes control, replacing the previous commander. He seems affable and friendly at first, and the family warms up to him, but they soon realize their is a darker side to him and he his driven towards the establishment of a new government.

The Romanov family is scared but there is not much they can do. The new commander turns cold abruptly and essentially barricades them in, painting over the windows and placing bars across them, only allowing the family to go out twice a day and letting them suffer in the heat. One day, the kitchen boy Leonid loses one of the secret notes he was supposed to send from the Tsar to the nuns. That same day, the Bolshevik commander comes to the house and dismisses the kitchen boy, telling him to never return.

A few days later, in the middle of the pitch-black night, the Bolshevik guards wake up the Romanov family. The Tsar and his family are informed that they must leave the house immediately because there is a sign of eminent danger. They take the family to the basement of a nearby building and the storyline turns tragic. Sign up Log in.
