After being exiled to an outpost outside Moscow, Leo and Raisa team up with General Mikhail Nesterov (Oldman) to track down a serial killer who preys on young boys. This quest for the truth, with possible ties to cover-ups in higher places leads to Leo’s psychopathic rival Vasili (Kinnaman), who insists “There is no crime in Paradise.”
