Svetlana Alliluyeva, the only daughter of Joseph Stalin, abruptly abandoned her life in Moscow in 1967, arriving in New York to a nation hungry to hear her story. By her side is Peter Horvath, a young lawyer sent to smuggle Svetlana into America. Persuading herself that all she yearns for is a simple life, she attempts to settle into a suburban existence in New Jersey. But when this dream ends, Svetlana reaches out to Peter.
