John Sachtouras spends much of his life achieving the highest level of education, and fighting to better himself. He is convinced that his hard work and dedication will pay off expecting to get the life that he had been dreaming of for many years , He finds himself instead facing failure… Sachtouras crosses the ocean from Greece to the Unites States to embark on the adventure of a lifetime; as do all immigrants looking for success. Out of desperation he sets up a goal and decides to write a million dollar check. He promises himself that he will obtain the money by the date he’s written on the check. But after eighteen years the only thing he’s earned is insurmountable debt. In a last-shot attempt, he risks everything to save his family and dignity. Sachtouras starts to take his role of being a dreamer very seriously. He comes to the realization that in order to reach his goals, he has to change his entire perspective on life. He is followed by people who tease and taunt him. People who watch him fail. He is weighed down by the the loneliness that comes with feeling isolated from the people he loves - including his own family. But the hardest thing to accept - and in the end the most dangerous and painful truth each human has to eventually face - is the demon of self-doubt… And sometimes he comes to term with his demons too late.
