      Set in a counter-historical context, the narrative explores Leon Trotsky's survival after the 1940 assassination attempt, thanks to the protection of Mexican President Lázaro Cárdenas. Relocated to the secluded town of Tijuana, Trotsky grapples with the challenges of continuing his political work and leading the Fourth International while feeling disconnected from the pivotal events unfolding in Europe. The story delves into themes of isolation, political struggle, and the enduring quest for revolutionary change.
