When Talat, a Muslim fanatic,is tormented by nightmares, he turns to a psychiatrist for help. While under hypnosis, he discovers that he lived in the fifteenth century as Rabbi Shimon, a Chassidic Jew, in ancient Samarkand, the capital of Uzbekistan, led by Mongol conqueror Tamerlane.
After learning of his previous life, Talat looses desire to live. He learns that Uzbek's nationalists, led by his father are planning to kill Jews and other minorities who are trying to flee from ethnic turmoil of Samarkand.
