Chasing his own American Dream, Nick lands next door to a mysterious, party-giving millionaire, Jay Gatsby Leonardo DiCaprio and across the bay from his cousin, Daisy Carey Mulligan and her philandering, blue-blooded husband, Tom Buchanan Joel Edgerton . It is thus that Nick is drawn into the captivating world of the super rich, their illusions, loves and deceits. As Nick bears witness, within and without the world he inhabits, he pens a tale of impossible love, incorruptible dreams and high-octane tragedy, and holds a mirror to our own modern times and struggles.
