  This romantic family drama is based on the true story of an American TV actress who adopts a little Russian girl in St. Petersburg in 1994. At that time in Russia, the country was struggling to become a free market democracy. "More like the Wild West," the actress, Molly McKay, is warned.  She arrives at chaotic Pulkova Airport and is immediately whisked off to the baby home to meet her new daughter. Their wonderful, sometimes crazy, sometimes harrowing adoption journey takes off from there. One major and unexpected complication: Molly discovers that Lady Law, the TV show she starred in back in the '80s in the U.S., is now a big hit in Russia. Then there are the two handsome princes, one Russian, one American, and all the other fairytale characters who help or hinder Molly and her Clementine.

  When Dave Mansford, founding member of 80's band Alternator is electrocuted live on stage during a comeback concert, DI Declan Walsh and the team of the Last Chance Saloon are brought in to investigate whether it was a simple accident, or vicious murder.

With the bodycount climbing and with everyone keeping to their own version of events, can Declan discover what truly happened in a London recording studio over thirty years ago, and why everyone who was there that night has to die?
