A successful young businessman pays $10, 000 at a charity auction to work for a day in a soup kitchen, and becomes obsessed with the plight of the homeless.

Framed in the plot of a forty year-old movie, our man Clyde Belmondo adopts a Bogartian attitude and a snub-nosed .38 to navigate a path to justice, but quickly finds himself sucked into a quagmire where illusion masquerades as reality and trust disappears like Cuervo from a shot glass.
