American Daydream
SYNOPSIS
What are the most valuable assets in life? Material possessions? Copious wealth? True wealth comes from good friends, a loving family, and meaningful relationships. Love is the most valuable asset life has to offer. And as The Beatles once said, so many years ago... "Money can't buy me love."
American Daydream reflects this timeless sentiment... JOE GIANCOCCO has stunning good looks and irrefutable talent. Born and bred in Bensonhurst, Brooklyn, he and his girlfriend, CAITLIN, share a priceless gift... genuine affection. Joe's flair for singing and songwriting has led him to the precipice of stardom, leaving Caitlin to wonder if their love will transcend his impending success.
The answer is revealed by a serendipitous meeting with a MYSTERIOUS OLD WOMAN. Through her mystic means, she bestows upon Joe yet another gift; the chance to glimpse the imminent life of stardom that awaits him.
A case of amnesia, brought on by a precipitous car accident, transports Joe three years into the future, and three thousand miles across the country, where he inherits the persona he so desperately desired...
JOE NOBLE, a superstar resident of Los Angeles, California.
As Joe struggles to comprehend his celebrity identity, "Noblemania" soon unfolds. Screaming teenage girls are in constant pursuit. In a quest to recover his memory, he embarks on a witty adventure with his biggest fan, WHITNEY BARRETT, a plucky, sixteen-year-old Beverly Hills resident. Her newly forged friendship with Joe leads her to realize the priceless value of heartfelt relationships.
Ensnared amidst a tumult of fame and fortune, Joe soon discovers his world of luxury is cursed with strife and controversy.
The great expense of fame has cost him the most valuable thing in his life... true love.
To Joe's great relief, through lessons learned amidst his trial, he awakens back in Brooklyn, only to discover that his journey was more than just a fever-dream. To his great relief, he regains his former life, abundant with wealth beyond any material possession... good friends, a loving family, and his soon-to-be wife, Caitlin.
To have and to hold, in good times and in bad, as long as they both shall live.
