Description
Danny Ryan se ha dado a la fuga tras perder una guerra sangrienta que enfrentó a bandas criminales de la Costa Este. La mafia, la policía y el FBI lo quieren muerto o en prisión. Acompañado por su hijo pequeño, su anciano padre y los maltrechos restos de su facción de soldados leales, Danny se marcha a California dispuesto a comenzar una nueva vida. Sin embargo, los federales dan con su rastro y le piden un favor que podría hacerle ganar una fortuna o costarle la vida. Y cuando en Hollywood empieza a rodarse una película basada en su pasado, Danny exige una parte de los beneficios y comienza a reconstruir su imperio delictivo. Entonces se enamora de una atractiva estrella de cine que también arrastra un pasado turbio. El choque de sus mundos provoca un estallido que podría acabar con ambos, y Danny se ve obligado a luchar por sobrevivir en la ciudad donde nacen los sueños. O donde van a morir. Desde la costa de Rhode Island hasta el desierto de California, donde se hacen desaparecer los cadáveres; desde los pasillos del poder de Washington, donde se gesta la verdadera corrupción, hasta los legendarios estudios de Hollywood, donde se forjan auténticas fortunas, Ciudad de los sueños es una epopeya arrolladora sobre la familia, el amor, la venganza, la supervivencia y la brutal realidad que se esconde tras los sueños.
Description
Danny Ryan is on the run after losing a bloody war pitting East Coast criminal gangs against each other. The mob, police and FBI want him dead or in prison. Accompanied by his young son, his old father and the battered remnants of his faction of loyal soldiers, Danny sets out for California ready to start a new life. However, the feds pick up his trail and ask him for a favor that could earn him a fortune or cost him his life. And when Hollywood starts shooting a movie based on his past, Danny demands a share of the profits and begins to rebuild his criminal empire. Then he falls in love with a beautiful movie star who also has a dark past of her own. As their worlds collide in an explosion that could destroy them both, Danny is forced to fight for survival in the city where dreams are born. Or where they go to die. From the shores of Rhode Island to the deserts of California where bodies disappear, from the power corridors of Washington where the real criminals operate to the fabled movie studios of Hollywood where the real money is made, City of Dreams is a sweeping saga of family, love, revenge, survival and the fierce reality behind the dream.
