“Prince of Broadway” is the story of Lucky, an illegal immigrant from Ghana, and Levon, an Armenian-Lebanese immigrant, two men whose lives converge in the underbelly of New York’s wholesale fashion district. Lucky’s world is suddenly turned upside down when a child is thrust into his life by a woman who insists the toddler is his son. While Lucky copes with his new domestic dilemma, Levon struggles to save a marriage that is falling apart. The seedy side of the wholesale district is revealed through a journey that continually confronts the interplay between what is fake and what is real.
