Secret Millionaire

About the movie

Sean Peyton is the heir to the fortune amassed by his father, William Peyton Jr., through his real estate development company, Peyton Enterprises. Unfocused Sean has moved from one uncompleted pursuit after another in trying to find a passion in life, all he knowing is that real estate development is not it. Currently unemployed Sean has been pressured by William, with who he has a strained relationship, both to join the business and to foster a romantic relationship with Candice, the daughter of a competitor, to build a development conglomerate for the future, neither in which Sean has an interest. So William gives him an ultimatum: find a job within a week and stick with it, or else he has to join the company or risk being cut off entirely, the cushy privileged life which Sean has enjoyed. Concurrently, Sean meets Allison Johnson, a law student by day, and food truck assistant and community volunteer/activist by "night". One of Allison's passions in that latter category is to stop the demolition of the largely natural Fountain Green Park, one of her favorite places, the edge of the park where the food truck, called C'est Si Bon, is often located, to be replaced by a shopping development. She is protesting largely against the developer: Peyton Enterprises. In his attraction to her, Sean does not tell her who he really is, he letting her assume he being a working class stiff like her. In Sean's pursuit of Allison, he may find some passions in life, but they may be threatened, including a relationship with Allison, when he has to come clean to her about who he is, she who is already suspicious of men in general having been hurt in a previous serious relationship. Meanwhile, Allison's best friend, Beth, who is also working to stop the park development, is torn between two men: Caden, who she has just started dating despite they seemingly having no common interests; and Pascal, who has just joined in the fight against the park development and with who she seems to have everything in common.—Huggo
