In the aftermath of World War Two, survivors of the war
ravaged countries of The Soviet Union began the long journey in the hope of
getting their lives back to some kind of normality. One such person was Viktor
Kodes, together with his compatriot Boris Leshev, they offered their services
to one of the many post-war gangs running contraband across borders to those in the need of food and medicines.
Little did Viktor know however was that the KGB were hunting
for Boris and his wife Olga, both of whom were wanted for, amongst other crimes against the State, the murder of a
Soviet soldier in the Latvian capital of Riga. In their attempt to get Boris to
freedom three members of the Forest Brothers gang were caught and murdered,
Boris himself was then brutally tortured before being killed.
Three more KGB agents were then deployed to hunt down Olga
and any of her accomplices with the intention of arresting and torturing them
before their executions. Viktor killed all three before they could arrest Olga,
an action that forced himself, Olga, and their respective children, Alana and
Sergio, to flee the country with the aid of the infamous Forest Brothers
Their journey would take them through Lithuania and Poland
to Gdansk where they would then board a ship, which would then take them to England. A journey fraught with danger saw Olga killed and Viktor
murdered by a hired assassin before they could flee to freedom.
Sergio and Alana, without their parents, finally reached
England and after going through the British Asylum procedure, they were able to
settle down to the English way of life. The young Latvians eventually married
and had a child of their own. Little did they know that their past was closing
in on them.
