Synopsis
Demoralised by unemployment and exploited by a charismatic industrialist, a town gets a boost when all the residents win a giant lottery – all, that is, bar one outsider who tries to show the townsfolk that their hero is trying to steal their water supply in order to sell it back to them. The town must decide how their dreams will play out and whether they have the courage to take their destinies into their own hands.
