Project Description

James is a 30 years old self-taught entrepreneur who made a fortune selling kitten sweaters. James was born in a family of workaholics. His family motto: “The work praises the man”. It demands dedication, self-development and effort that just does not fit with the James temper. He is a risk taker that can be described in three words: bold, naive and selfish. He never considers other people's opinions and does not admit his mistakes. James has an amazing ability to believe in things that no one else believes. Life has always been pampering James. He was a favorite of fate so he was always lucky. That's why he always relied on chance. But every luck comes to an end. Being at the peak of his complacency, self-righteous James squandered all his savings into startup projects that have failed.

Shortly before James' bankruptcy, James was in a relationship and was about to get married. James' fiancee, DARLA, did not share his views and always believed that his success was just luck and nothing more. Darla was from a wealthy family and was used to the fact that a successful man always has a plan and he knows for sure because he spent a lot of sleepless nights researching and analyzing. But she loved James and she wanted to believe that his projects would be profitable. As a gesture of great and pure love, Darla invests the money she made from the sale of her late mother's house into the James project that failed at the first onset. This case shook out an already shaky relationship. Constant quarrels led to the fact that she completely lost faith in her fiancé and left. Jalopy, one suit and suitcase full of flyers are the only things that are left after the breakup with Darla.

Despite difficult circumstances, James decides to get back on his feets and start all over again.
