Set in the shadow of the Russian Revolution, Anastasia follows Anya, a young woman with no memory of her past. When two conmen discover her resemblance to the missing Grand Duchess, they convince her to join a plan to pose as royalty and claim a reward. Hoping the journey might reveal the truth about who she really is, Anya travels across Europe, from the streets of St. Petersburg to the elegance of 1920s Paris. Could she truly be the lost princess?
