Two unique characters’ rags-to-riches success stories reveal the innate virtues and flaws of the American Dream.

Over the next two years, their sprawling empire, fueled by the real estate bubble and cheap money, falters due to the economic crisis. Major changes in lifestyle and character ensue within the cross-cultural household of family members and domestic staff.
