Alan takes us back to Fremantle in the late 1950's - working as an apprentice signwriter. Young and brazen, he takes dancing lessons and meets the vivacious Eileen Hughes. Alan is determined to make his first million and soon sees the opportunity he's been looking for - property.

1983. Triumphant from their America's Cup win, Alan and Eileen are welcomed back to Perth with a ticker-tape parade fit for a king. Alan is on top of the world - from premiers to business leaders, everyone wants a piece of him. But something's missing - he has outgrown Australia and wants more.
