David Bell embodies the American dream. Hes twenty-eight, has survived office coups, scandals, and beaten lesser rivals, to become an extremely successful TV exec. The images that flicker across Americas screens, the fantasies that enthrall viewers, they are of his making.But Davids dream is turning sour, nightmarish. He wants reality, to touch, feel and record what is real. He takes a camera and journeys across America in a mad, roving quest to discover and capture some sense of his own and his countrys past, present and future.
