In 1941 Nazi Germany invaded the Soviet Union and their troops besieged the city of Leningrad. A group of foreign journalists are flown in for one day, but one of them, Kate Davis (Mira Sorvino), is presumed dead and misses the flight out. Alone in the city, she is helped by Nina Tsvetkova (Olga Sutulova), a young and idealist police officer, and together they fight for their own and other people's survival.
