Scott Neeson's path runs from a Scottish immigrant working the projector booth at a drive-in theater to a senior marketing executive at Sony Pictures, with a house in Brentwood and the salary to match. The film traces what happened after a visit to Steung Meanchey, Phnom Penh's garbage dump, where children scavenged for scraps to sell. Neeson walked away from his studio career and the lifestyle it funded to found the Cambodian Children's Fund, and the film follows the organization he built from that decision, showing the dump, the neighborhoods around it, and the kids the charity now houses, feeds, and educates. Interviews with Neeson and the people around his work fill in how a Hollywood executive became, by his own account, a father figure to hundreds of children an ocean away from the industry that made him wealthy. The film treats the reversal as the whole story: what he gave up, and what he built instead.
