Ancient Chinese wisdom secretly passed through handwritten fortunes guides the lives of two men from different cultures. Each overcomes adversity to achieve inner awareness through personal journeys. In order to achieve happiness, one may have to seek beyond the obvious for answers and have faith in a stronger, unseen source. Michael Hamilton, successful San Francisco advertising executive, has his world shattered when he becomes a casualty of the California recession. He faces a bleak future unemployed, despondent and alone. Before he can reinvent himself in the business world and have a healthy love relationship, he must face and overcome long-held emotional obstacles. His pragmatic viewpoint shifts as he learns to accept a broader, unconventional vision of reality through the vehicle of dreams, symbols and synchronicity. Wu, respected manager of the family-owned Good Fortune Chinese restaurant, enjoys financial security. He has been a loving husband and father, but is at odds with his aging father, Chow Lee Tong, the restaurant"s bookkeeper. Gradually, Wu becomes estranged from his wife and sons due to his assiduous attention to business. In his quest for greater wealth he sacrifices his family relationships. Wu and Michael each face personal challenges that like the mirrored images of the Yin/Yang symbol, are identical yet reversed. Good Fortune awaits them, but first they must discover true happiness is less tied to outward goals than inner awareness. Tong"s gentle wisdom shows them the way.
