Set in the Queens, New York neighborhood know as "little Athens". ASTORIA centers around a blue-collar Greek-American family as they struggle to hold on to the American Dream. Follow the journey of 28-year old Alex (Rick Stear, Zerophilia, Twelfth Night, What You Will) and his desire to escape his stagnate neighborhood and pursue an off-beat dream that will take him to the lost tomb of Alexander the Great. Alex must overcome his Old World-minded father?s plans: expanding the family business and contending with some local wise guys intent on collecting his dad?s gambling debt. When Alex becomes enchanted with a beautiful iconographer visiting from Greece, (Paige Turco, Rhinoceros Eyes, TV's The Agency) will things take another turn?
