Dom journeys from his village and way of life with the hopes of making a fortune in the New World and returning to his village a man of respect. But wealth is hard won in America at the turn of the twentieth century. Dom faces a hard fight and painful choices in a world that swallows dreams and where nothing turns out as planned. This is the story of how a young stone carver becomes a man and ultimately becomes an American.
