The American Dream is a beautiful bubble, and this documentary tells the story of the rise and fall of a wealthy family who "watched him rise a tall building and watch it collapse". Billionaire David Seeger and his wife Jackie Seeger, 30 years younger, built a 90000-square-foot mansion, more majestic than the White House, and even known as "king and queen". But the financial crisis caused their empire to collapse instantly, and they had to sell their elaborate luxury mansions. Even Jackie Seeger, the heroine, was puzzled in front of the camera: "I haven't figured it out yet. I really want to see this documentary to see how we got here."
