Siberia Movie Storyline. American diamond merchant Lucas Hill (Keanu Reeves) travels to Siberia in Russia to sell rare blue diamonds to gangster Boris Volkov (Pasha D. Lychnikoff). However, his contact in St. Petersburg, Pyotr (Boris Gulyarin) who had the diamonds has gone missing. Boris threatens Lucas to deliver the diamonds in 48 hours.
Following Pyotr’s clues, Lucas arrives at a guest house in Mirny, Siberia. He contacts his wife Gabby through Skype. He goes to a cafe and starts a fight with two men and the cafe owner Katya saves him. Later, her brother Ivan suspects her of sleeping with Lucas, so she asks him to sleep with her.
Lucas meets Pyotr’s brother Andrei who tells him that Pyotr sold counterfeit diamonds to a man named Samsonov and hid the real ones. Enraged, Lucas goes to Katya’s home. They start a passionate affair. Lucas also goes bear hunting with Ivan and Katya’s other brothers. Lucas earns Ivan’s respect when Lucas puts Ivan’s dog out of its misery after accidentally being shot by Ivan’s brother.
Lucas is contacted by Vincent but he turns him off. Lucas returns to Pyotr’s apartment in St. Petersburg to find a diamond there that is real. He checks the one Pyotr sent to him, confirming it is a fake. Lucas meets Boris, along with Katya to show the diamond promising him to return the rest later. To solidify their deal, Boris demands a ritual of brotherhood where Boris’s woman services Lucas and Lucas woman (Katya) services Boris. Reluctant at first, Lucas agrees when Katya convinces him refusal of such an offer is deadly.
Lucas is met by FSB agents who make Lucas sell the fake diamonds, the ones Pyotr tried to sell to Samsonov, to Boris and get the money to the agents. In return, they promise him safe passage to home. Lucas overhears them speaking that once Boris finds out, he will kill his wife and Katya and Lucas won’t hide long. Lucas manages to convince Boris buy the diamonds and wire the money to the agents’ account. But he gets a warning from Boris’ henchman Pavel of the consequences if he is betraying.
