"Mexico, 1940." Leon Trotsky, a key charismatic figure in the 1917
Russian Revolution, lives in exile in Mexico after losing power to
Josef Stalin in 1924. He resides in a comfortable, fortified villa
in Coyoacan in relative peace-until an agent of Stalin assassinates
him.
"Los Angeles, 1990." Fifty years later, Trotsky's memory remains
alive for six Americans who lived with him at the time of his
death. Now they've gathered together to mark the fiftieth
anniversary of his assassination. Though they have aged and their
bodies no longer have the energy they once possessed, they still
passionately believe in Trotsky's cause.
For former lovers Byron Lerner and Verna Swartz, the past
collides with the present as long-dormant emotions erupt between
them, leading them down a road of painful memories. And for the
entire group, their brief reunion will uncover betrayal, lies, and
secrets so devastating that their perception of history will
forever be altered.
Rich with historic detail, "The Ghost of Leon Trotsky" is a
brilliant examination of how six people come to terms with their
individual and collective pasts and presents.
