When things go wrong for lovable street vendor Juan (Paul Rodriguez), they really go WRONG! Threatened with deportation, dumped by his girlfriend, and faced with losing his home, poor Juan just can't get a break. Then in a wonderful twist of fate, a mysterious stranger (Edward James Olmos) hands Juan a million and disappears. Juan's life gets turned totally upside down as he discovers what it's really like to be a millionaire. From the barrio to Beverly Hills, Juan and his young son come to realize the true meaning of life, love and happiness - and that money isn't the answer. (official distributor synopsis)
