The child of Russian expatriates, London-based writer Alex Ostroff longs to publish a masterpiece. But his manuscripts find only rejection - as does indeed Alex himself when London's literary set unceremoniously toss him from a party. Heeding the advice of his exasperated agent, Alex finally writes about his own experiences. As he mines his years as a child for motivation, he becomes obsessed with finding the real truth about his parents. In 1919, they fled the Russian Revolution for France, taking on with a Mephistophelian character called Felix Dumont and becoming a member of him in a inexplicable import-export business that engaged blackmail, betrayal and murder. Alex's autobiographical book, Troika, is a success, however the work makes Alex question his stories. So when he unexpectedly encounters Dumont while filming displays from the e book in a seedy bath-house, recent and present intersect and Alex discovers the dark real truth behind the fictions of his life.
