Bill is a former golden boy of the banking industry-a Master of the Universe who's fallen from grace. He made million dollar deals buying and selling the debt of emerging countries. Now a fugitive running from a prison term and on the verge of suicide, he is sheltered by kind and free-spirited Angela, an illegal immigrant, who's created a magical world on a rooftop in East L.A. in a dance of politics and soul-searching leading to a passionate, uninhibited affair, Angela tears down and rebuilds the foundations of Bill's life.
