After discovering that his luggage and camera equipment had been misrouted, Yale sets out on a journey to Birobidzhan, capitol of J.A.R. Accompanying him on a 7-Day train trip is a former KGB agent, Slava Andreovich, who was the grandson of Mikhail Kalenin, the first President of the U.S.S.R. The trip and casual anti-Semitism of his Russian fellow passengers, immerse Strom in the experiences of the first Jewish pioneers to settle the region in 1928.
