Opens Friday, May 24, 2013 Synopsis: A terminally ill CEO who devoted his life to creating environmentally friendly cleaning products strives to make one last business deal as he reflects on his early years as a Greek immigrant in pursuit of the American Dream in this poignant drama from director/screenwriter Nick Agiashvili. When Van Vlahakis (Ed O'Ross) arrived in America back in the 1950s, he came up from nothing to be the CEO of Earth Friendly Products. Now, after decades of working to create a better world, Vlahakis is dying. Diagnosed with cancer as a major corporation plots a hostile takeover of his company, Vlahakis finds his thoughts continually drifting back to those memorable days of youth, and realizes that his work here is not yet done. Only once Vlahakis has managed to ensure that his company will continue to provide products that will make the world safer for future generations will he lie down for that final sleep, and until that day comes, he'll keep on fighting with everything he's got. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi Cast: Ed O'Ross, Shannon Elizabeth, Billy Zane, Annabella Sciorra, Malcolm McDowell Movie Details Play Trailer Movie Review
