Our first stop is Vancouver, where green glass towers nestle among mountains. It's a bustling collision of people, where luxury developments hover above tent cities.

Vancouver's Soheil Biniaz is a self-made man and luxury home builder. He strikes an intimidating figure in his three-piece suit, Rolex watch, and designer shades. But after a local Vancouver newspaper publicly mocked his 'Millionaires Under 40' meet-up group, Soheil lost the one close guy pal he had. Struggling to make friends, Soheil learns that connection is something his money can't buy.

Can a bright-eyed tween and makeup artist with a punk flair teach him how to connect?
