This charming romantic comedy is set in the small town of Paradise, Michigan. After a group of friends play a prank on their friend by ordering him a mail order bride from Russia, the beautiful Viktoria (Natalie Nazarova) arrives. Discovering that her husband is a close-minded, ignorant pig, she shacks up with the tough Reenie (Tantoo Cardinal). With the aid of Reenie and the patrons at the local bar, a collection is started to help Viktoria make her way back to Russia. But along the way, Viktoria manages to teach the small town residents a very valuable lesson about living the American Dream. Russian pop star Nazarova delivers a magnetic performance in her feature-film debut.
