Second-rate talent agent, Sammy Kamin, is always looking for his next big star, usually at the expense of his family and personal life. When Sammy's car plunges into a Romanian river, Max, a gentle giant towering 7'7", saves him. A monastery caretaker, Max lives in a quiet world of books and a fantasy world where he is reunited with Lillianna, a girl he kissed more than 20 years before and to whom he continues to write unanswered letters. Sammy sees Max as his ticket to the big time. After convincing him that being a movie star might unite him with Lillianna, the two embark on a journey that will take Max away from his simple existence in Romania to Times Square and Las Vegas. As Sammy gets to know Max, he discovers his sad secret and begins to reassess his own life choices.
