Despite the best efforts of two 20-something friends from Brooklyn, their chase of the American Dream seems to always end up short of the finish line.

After striking out hustling a skateboard-deck business, graphic designer Ben Epstein agrees to partner with his friend, Cam Calderon, in the production of leather jackets and retro jeans.
