"An Israeli professor travels to an imaginary West African nation to trace a slave-trading ancestor, only to be imprisoned there under a new law barring successive generations from profiting off the proceeds of slavery. Confined to a villa by local authorities, Professor Schiff meets a string of dignitaries including a former soccer star who has become the country's president.
