Russia, 1591: Dmitry, the young son of the long-dead Tsar Ivan the Terrible was killed in a suspicious accident. Some suspected the regent, Boris Godunov, to be responsible for the boy's death. Just over a decade later, a man calling himself Dmitry would return, claiming he escaped the clutches of Boris, and would take back the throne of his father. This so-called Dmitry ruled as Tsar of Russia for only a year, and his true identity has never been established. Nearly everyone today agrees he was a pretender to the throne...but what if the False Dmitry was telling the truth about who he was?
