When a misogynistic Indian husband loses his IT job, he is forced to work in a team reporting to his wife in her organisation, to pay for mortgage.
One little thing that may add is to specify what his wife's company is - for example - is it some sort of feminine manufacturing product, or cleaning service or something that would also conflict with his conception of being a man. Otherwise, sounds like a good idea.

a) no resources and alone
b) Impact of being a Russian Jew – does that present a problem travelling around Europe? how are the Russians or Jews viewed at that time?
c) way to travel – how is he getting around? does he have any skills or education? Speak another language?
d) what would happen when he arrives in the US
Always love a good immigrant story….I think we need to know more about the protagonist – I don’t think it’s as important as to why he is separate from his family, but more about his quest to find them in the US.

I think mikep has a point – is the goal to save his crush or is it to find redemption for what he did before by stopping it happening it again. There is no conflict here as both result in him helping the girl. It would be good if the goal may require him to give up the girl – therefore, he can seek redemption /rid of guilt or he can save the girl (who doesn’t yet need saving) but lose her at the same time.
Just a suggestion, but I always like a dilemma – at the moment, what would it cost him to reveal the abuser? Maybe his own complicit part of silence? IS he liable in any other way that might mean he can be charged? Therefore, revealing the abuser puts him in trouble but not revealing her puts her in trouble. Now we have a dilemma where he will try and get both but that contravene each other. Just a thought. 🙂
