Adam Levin is a Jewish college professor going through a divorce in the mid-1970s. He lives in a typical New Jersey suburban town, but nothing is typical about Adam-he's obsessed with his hatred of Adolf Hitler and anything German. His internal and external adventures are filled with uncomfortable and bizarre situations leading to zany and hilarious outcomes. Only Adam can go on a vacation to the Grand Canyon and fall deeply in love with a German lesbian, who proclaims he is "married to Hitler" and must confront his past and divorce himself from Hitler.
