Set in the Queens, New York neighborhood know as "Little Athens," ASTORIA centers around a blue-collar Greek-American family as they struggle to hold on to the American Dream. Follow the journey of 28-year-old Alex (Rick Stear, "Zerophilia", "Went to Coney Island on a Mission From God…Be Back by Five") and his desire to escape his urban hometown to pursue an off-beat dream that will take him to the lost tomb of Alexander the Great. Alex must overcome his Old World-minded father’s plans to expand the family business and must contend with some local wise guys set on collecting his dad’s gambling debt. When Alex becomes enchanted with a beautiful iconographer visiting from Greece, (Paige Turco, "Rhinoceros Eyes", TV"s "The Agency") will things take another turn?
