This Acclaimed BBC Adaptation Remains Faithful To Fyodor Dostoevsky's Classic Novel. Set In St Petersburg
In The Second Half Of The 19th Century, The Psychological Thriller Tells Of A Desperate Young Murderer
Caught In A Web Of His Own Guilt.

Rodya Raskolnikov Is A Poverty-Stricken Student Living Among The Fetid Alleyways And Crumbling Tenements Of
St Petersburg, Intense And Highly Intelligent, Raskolnikov Believes He Is Among A Class Of Men Destined For
Greatness And As Such Is Permitted To Breach 'Normal' Moral Values. He Decides To Test His Courage And
Integrity By Killing A Pawnbroker, A Mean Old Woman Whom He Is Sure Nobody Will Miss.

The Murder, However, Only Serves To Draw Raskolnikov Into A Nightmare World In Which He Is Dogged By Guilt,
Paranoia And Alienation. Faced With The Wily Investigator Porfiry, Who Sets Up A Complex Series Of Traps,
Encounters And Conversations, Can Raskolnikov Escape His Own Conscience Or The Seemingly
Inevitable Punishment?
