Nicholas and Alexandra - Exile at Ipatiev House

Nicholas II and his family have been stripped of power and sent into Siberian exile.  They are living at the Ipatiev House where windows have been painted over to remove views of the outside.

The "White Russians" - loyal to the Tsar - are close at hand.  If they reach Ipatiev House, they could free the Tsar and restore him to the throne his family has held for three centuries.

On the 16th of July, 1918, a decision is made to forever prevent that from happening.  Neither the Tsar, nor his family, anticipate what will happen next.
