The Dream Machine
When Rolling Stone reporter, Andrew Carter, is given a last minute assignment for the magazine he has no idea that during the course of his assignment he will be uncovering a highly-guarded secret within the music industry: That one of America ’s biggest Pop Stars is an illegal immigrant.
More secrets unfold after the reporter and the singer are involved in a deadly traffic accident in the singer’s car. The car - a rare, classic automobile built in the secret workshops of the original Cadillac automobile company – holds mysteries of its own.
The Dream Machine is historical fiction that resonates with a compelling contemporary theme amid the historic backdrop of Americana. Throughout the story, the underlying themes of how time changes societal perceptions in all facets of our lives is examined, from immigration reform, consumerism, sexuality, alcohol consumption, and ultimately, to the automobile itself. Amid this evolving backdrop of the American psyche, one concept holds fast, the belief that it is a universal ‘dream’ to own a car – not just any car – but one that embraces a way of life that says,
“This is my American dream.”
