December 1991. Beautiful American banker Alice Liddell has arrived in Moscow as it reels under the collapse of the Soviet Union and suffers a brutal war between mafia gangs for control of the violently changing city.
Hired to oversee the privatization of Russia's legendary vodka distillery-the Red October-Alice soon finds her ideals compromised by its director Lev, a gangland member as dangerously seductive as he is ruthless.
When a shadowy enemy vows revenge on Lev, and a series of bizarre serial murders erupts in the darkest corners of the city, Alice finds herself being drawn into the dangerously violent underground world of Moscow.
