Written, produced and directed by Nash Bhatt, "The Rise and Fall of their American Dream" revolves around Carlos, Vijay and Mike: three fearless strangers whose relentless pursuit of the fabled "American Dream" intersects. Their fateful meeting forever alters the course of many desperate lives. Carlos illegally migrated from Mexico and is forced to toil for pennies as a mechanic. Vijay is lured from India with the promise of riches by a greedy, conniving Indian motel owner who then enslaves him. Mike, who is indebted to his mob boss uncle, befriends the two immigrants. Their combined courage, ambition and friendship lead them to the top of a criminal empire. But one horrific misstep causes their monumental rise and lawless exploit to come crashing down at their feet, forcing these three young men to redefine their loyalties.
