As ruthless lawyer and power broker Roy M. Cohn lies dying of AIDS in a private hospital room, ghosts from his past visit him as he reflects on his life and loves.

In the 1950s, the ambitious and unscrupulous Jewish prosecutor Roy M. Cohn convinces Senator Joseph McCarthy to be his chief counsel in his hunting against communists. With his powerful and intimidating tactics, the arrogant Cohn destroys both careers and lives and becomes a Jew hunting Jews and a gay hunting gays. In 1986, he was disbarred by the Appellate Division of the New York State Supreme Court for unethical and unprofessional conduct, and died five weeks later of AIDS in a hospital in Bethesda, Maryland.—Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

As ruthless lawyer Roy M. Cohn rests in his private hospital room, ravaged by the effects of AIDS, he thinks back on his life. Cohn was very instrumental in the success of Senator Joseph McCarthy's investigations into communist activity in the United States. However, despite Cohn's powerful, intimidating tactics and his influence with such figures as J. Edgar Hoover, he had his own deep secret: homosexuality. Cohn attempts to come to terms with himself and those he has influenced as ghosts from his past arrive to haunt him.—Jwelch5742
