Jane Callahan, a striking American woman, writes to her son, a cadet at a renowned military academy, about a long-guarded secret from her past.

Twenty years earlier she travels to Russia to aid Douglas McCracken, an obsessive engineer who seeks the patronage of Grand Duke Alexei Alexandrovich to fund his ambitious invention—a colossal machine designed to harvest the Siberian forests.

On her journey, she meets two men who will shape her life: a handsome young cadet Andrei Tolstoy, who shares a passion for opera, and the imposing General Radlov, who is captivated by her beauty and longs to marry her.

Tolstoy and Radlov soon become rivals for Jane’s affection, each pursuing her in different ways. She entrusts Tolstoy with a deep secret, promises to marry him, and the two share a night of passionate intimacy that results in a child.

But later he overhears Jane denying any romantic interest in him in order to win the General’s favor and secure an audience with the Grand Duke. Distraught, Tolstoy attacks the General, who arrests his rival on false charges and banishes him to Siberia for seven years of hard labor and a further five years of exile.
