From Fortune 500 ... to fortune's fool.

Comedy

A rich businessman makes a bet he can survive on the streets of a rough Los Angeles neighborhood for 30 days completely penniless. During his stay he discovers another side of life and falls in love with a homeless woman.

VIBE

A cynical, yet ultimately heartwarming, look at class divides. Expect broad comedy and a touch of melodrama as privilege clashes with poverty on the streets of LA. It's a surprisingly earnest journey of self-discovery.
