It's 2017, and Olga and her brother, Pedro 'Prieto' Acevedo, are bold-faced names in New York City society: Prieto is a popular congressman representing their gentrifying, Latinx neighborhood in Brooklyn, while Olga is the wedding planner to Manhattan's richest and most demanding clientele. 
 
But the glamorous hoopla conceals a darker reality. Years ago, Olga and Prieto's mother abandoned her children to join a radical political organisation fighting for the liberation of Puerto Rico. Now, in the wake of the most devastating hurricane in the island's history, Blanca has come barrelling back into her children's lives. 
 
Olga Dies Dreaming is a story that examines political corruption, familial strife and the very notion of the American dream - all while asking what it really means to weather a storm.
