Set in 1905 in St. Petersburg, a city in the throes of sociopolitical conflict, the novel follows university student Nikolai Apollonovich Ableukhov, who has entangled himself with a revolutionary terrorist organization with plans to assassinate a government official--Nikolai's own father, Apollon Apollonovich Ableukhov.
