Achieving the position of prima ballerina in the Russian ballet takes an incredible amount of hard work and dedication. It's hard to imagine that one single action could bring that life to an end. Now she found herself going from the center spotlight to someone practically forgotten. That's where a family member steps in to help. If you can call it that. She was offered a position in an elite program, her successful completion of the program and subsequent loyalty would guarantee that her and the one closest to her would be taken care of. Her role in this organization would quickly turn into much more than she realized, friends would become enemies and enemies would become friends. Or at least at the surface, part of the mystique involved doing whatever it took to succeed at the mission. Just when the story seems to make sense, there's another twist that changes the game yet again. This game is life and death, there are no second chances, there are no exceptions. The only way to win is to not only play the game but to turn it on its head. Will she figure it out before it's too late? That you'll have to see for yourself if you can make it through. The story itself has merit, everything else on the screen is almost a distraction. Some will love it, some will hate it, and many more will be frustrated with the presentation. It could have been so much more...
