β¦ Synopsis
In a time when everything has its price, families corporate sponsored and dreams bought and sold like currency, Wisconsin business school graduate, Jake Kramer finds himself without a dream and little hope.
To regain inspiration, Jake visits Spade's Manhattan, the brainchild of financial tycoon Jonathon Spade, who years ago evicted all New York City residents to the outer boroughs and forced them to work as actors in his Manhattan theme park for tourists. But when Jake arrives at Spade's Manhattan he realizes Spade's dreams come at a heavy price and equal penalty for disobedience.
It is only when he meets Liza, an aspiring actress and escapes to Brooklyn, breaking Spade's tourism rule; it makes him a wanted man. While Spade's goons search for Jake, it is in Brooklyn where he learns working for your dreams far outweighs living a fantasy
