Production Weekly , Fish is adapting his script from a novel by Paolo Coehlo called 'The Alchemist'. It's the story of a well educated man named Santiago whose desire to travel draws him away from plans to enter the priesthood. He ends up as a contended shepherd instead.

The dreams lead him to a seer who tells him to follow his visions to Egypt and the pyramids where he'll find riches.
