The story of Millions comes alive through the mind of Damian (Alex Etel), a young boy who recently lost his mother. When he relocates with his father and older brother to a new neighborhood, he escapes into a cardboard fortress where he talks to his heroes--the saints and martyrs of the Christian church. From Saint John to Saint Francis of Assisi, Damian converses with the heavenly hosts, asking them if they have seen his mother. When a bag of money falls from the sky, he and his brother do their best to keep it a secret, but Damien wants to emulate his role models and give the money away to the poor.
