- Currency weaves together a tapestry of tales as we observe several lives over the course of eight decades. In prohibition-era Chicago, two mobsters on a train discuss the hollowness of the American Dream. They ask why life has value. Meanwhile, a dying physician discusses his will with his attorney. He asks why life is filled with so much regret. In the late eighties, a little girl grieves the death of her mother and dreams of being rescued from her abusive uncle. She wonders why we die. In present day, a homeless woman struggles with her faith as she worries about the fate of her departed husband. She wants to know why we are so alone. A writer flounders in an unhealthy relationship with a musician she idolizes. She asks why we live. A scientist from the inner city meets up with an old friend who coaxes him into some illegal activities. He looks at the universe and wonders why there is anything at all. Part mystery, part drama, Currency is a collection of simple stories about the complex questions we are all dying to have answered. We all want to know why and we all die.
