Overview

Moscow police detective Andrei Somov resigns and immigrates to the US, but has to accept a menial job in a restaurant while his adolescent son and pregnant daughter-in-law are denied exit visas. 'Andy' does however get to know some LAPD cops after volunteering his expertise and Russian language skills and is sent to Tijuana to fetch cheap tiles. On that Mexican journey, Somov bumps into Larry, another ethnic Russian but US citizen who lost his daughter years ago and now helps families to illegally enter the States. Meanwhile, the medium Michael March receives a vision about a mad bomber who targets pharmaceutical companies and gets a bad feeling upon holding an envelope that belongs to Larry.
