In the early hours of July 17, 1918, a Bolshevik firing squad massacred Nicholas Romanov II, his wife, four daughters and the young prince regent. In a volley of shots the dynasty was assassinated, only to be replaced by years of theory and speculation. In 1991, gruesome remains in a Siberian forest spurred the Russian Federation to mount the biggest forensic investigation in Russian history.

After a year analysing the remains, a verdict was decided but were the bones those of the Tsar and his family? Why were the scientists only able to reconstruct 9 skeletons when there should have been 11? Did two young Romanovs escape the massacre in the darkness? What is the real story of one of the world's most fabled royal families? This documentary follows the investigation to try and answer these questions once and for all.
