Based on the classic American Author Philip Roth's novella and set in 1976, famous American writer Nathan Zuckerman (Roth's alter-ego), is challenged by Czech immigrant Sisovsky who implores him to retrieve valuable manuscripts from communist Czechoslovakia. The writer accepts this dangerous mission, where his every step is observed by secret police. Once in Prague, he meets Sisovsky's flamboyant and wild ex-wife Olga who is in possession of the manuscripts.
