(Act II) Laura (female lead), tries to re-spark her 15 year marriage to Will (male lead). She creates a wonderful candlelight dinner, and dresses in a seductive dress. In the previous years, the death of Will's idealism has given birth to a cynicism that has alienated him from himself, his family and his promises. He has taken on a mistress: money.
     Today, having lost a great amount in the stock market, he comes home in a rage. He never notices the table setting or how beautiful Aura looks. Ranting, Will storms out. She sits alone at the table.

(Act I) It is the late 60's. Will begins to pursue his idealistic dream: writing and playing his own songs. He and his band perform one of these songs at a small outdoor rock festival in New Jersey. His stage presence is commanding. Yet, although his song lyric is a strong political statement about a "rebel with a cause", his image and delivery appear "rock star" synthetic.

(Act II) It is the 80's, Will has developed a "over-recreational" cocaine habit. Having transformed into his own father, he forces his fifteen year old son Little Joey, a graffiti artist on probation for spraying public buildings, to come to work with him to "see what life is really about". Still angry, Will falls asleep at his computer. A fantasy dream scene occurs. Will dreams that he and his son are on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange. It is a convoluted Oz dream with broker/munchkins singing "Buy, sell, buy sell, money make the world go, green is my favorite color, gold rings the bell". Everything is wonderful. Suddenly it all goes wrong. Will's dream becomes a nightmare.
