An American in St. Petersburg

Afghanistan veteran, Geoff Mathers is discharged from the United States Army. He returns to his parents' home in Seattle, Washington. With no career in sight he plans a holiday to St. Petersburg, Russia. His mother Natalya's grand parents had fled from Stalin's terror in 1931, and moved to London, England, eventually finding their permanent home in the U.S. before W.W.II. Geoff was looking forward to his trip and the many cultural activities available in St. Petersburg. He also wanted to explore the possibility of finding some relatives descended from his great grandfather, Valentin Dombrovski. At first, things went very well for Geoff. He met and fell in love with Tatyana, a civil engineering student. However, the underlying violence in Putin's Russia soon overwhelms them. Geoff fights to save Tatyana's life, exposing himself to great danger at the same time. Right wing paratroopers target both of them. Will either of them live? Do they have any future together? Does Geoff's military experience help him survive?
