Ancient Chinese wisdom secretly passed through handwritten fortunes guides the lives of two men from different cultures faced with similar problems. Each overcomes adversity through personal journeys of change. Michael Hamilton, an American stranger, is guided by aged scholar, Chow Lee Tong, who clandestinely guides him each time he eats at Good Fortune restaurant whenever he faces a new crisis. Tong overhears Michael's conversation, then composes a visionary fortune he slips inside a fortune cookie. The message is vague and must be unraveled to be understood. The other man, Wu, is Tong's stubborn son who refuses to listen to his father's sage advice. Their shared lesson is that in order to achieve happiness in life, one must often look beyond the obvious and believe in the messages of dreams, symbols, synchronicity, and the teachings of a wise scholar. As the mirrored images of the Yin/Yang symbol are identical yet reversed, good fortune awaits both men when they realize joy is achieved by viewing what makes them happy from a changed perspective. Chinese culture and customs add dimension to this unusual story.
