Default My serissa needs help!

Hi!
I bought a 3 yesrs old Serissa in NewYork (Chinatown) 15 days ago but
during the journey back to Italy It suffered a lot...It lost almost
all of the leaves...only a few survived and only on a branch.
What could I do now to save it? I'm a very beginner...
Should I cut the apparently dead branches?

Thank to everybody!

You mean to tell me they don't sell Serissa in Italy?
Serissa are very prone to drop their leaves when stressed. Don't cut anything
off for now. Put it outdoors in the shade. Be careful not to overwater. When it
starts to come back, gradually put it out in part sun. Don't feed it until it
starts growing. Cu off dead branches when it is growing well & you know what is
dead.
