A senator's estranged son is talked into planting a bomb built to kill his own father, and paces a delirious St Petersburg as the fuse ticks down. It explodes too late, and the son slips away, leaving his shaken father alive.
All of Petersburg is an infinity of the prospect raised to the nth degree. Beyond Petersburg, there is nothing.
