Mitch spent his childhood on the East Coast as a member of an economically challenged family, with a loving father and an angry mother. His dad was a shoe salesman. His mother's brother, his Uncle Ben, on the other hand, was a millionaire lawyer in Beverly Hills. Ben is held up as an example for Mitch. This leads to his lifelong addiction and codependency with money, and an illusory pursuit of security.

The problem is that, in his heart of hearts, Mitch would rather be telling stories, writing them or acting in them. He becomes a millionaire lawyer in Beverly Hills, but he pushes his artistic dreams aside in the pursuit of money. His relentless pursuit of wealth alienates him from his wife and kids.

As he begins his senior years, he starts to re-appraise his priorities. When the pandemic hits and the economy collapses, he is compelled to take a deeper look at where he's been, where he is, and where he's going.

Can we learn lessons and make changes, or is it too late?
