A documentary that explores what happens when a homeless man is given one hundred thousand dollars and the free will to do with it whatever his wishes.

spoiler text An almost unbelievable documentary that puts the true subject of whether homelessness is truly an epidemic of some nature or a choice. Shown the daily routine of a homeless man (Ted), he finds $100,000 in one of his usual dumpsters in a briefcase and a new view into the life of this man begins. From his excuses and reasons to why he is homeless to his choices, the audience gets a first hand look at how his life alters and his beliefs change. He proceeds to buy ludicrous items and yet reconnect to those he's not spoken with in years, but all the while the money trickles away faster and faster. He even buys a car for a woman he likes in a bar. Waste is the optimum word here, and amazing that the filmmakers viewed this all before them. The ending is not what is hoped for, but maybe inevitable based on the man himself and his choices.
