Part love story, part historical epic, part tragedy, The House of Special Purpose illuminates an empire at the end of its reign.

As Georgy remembers days gone by, we are transported to St. Petersburg in the early 20th century, to the Winter Palace of the Tsar. A time of change, threat and bloody revolution. And as Georgy overturns the most painful stone of all, we uncover the story of the house of special purpose.
