Lionel is one of very few people with the special ability to eat all things money (coins, bills etc.). It has cost him his job, his family, and his home. He's been on the streets for almost a year and has made one friend, a kind and patient nurse named Agatha.

When Agatha accidentally gifts Lionel with $100, intending to hand over $10, Lionel uses this mistake as an opportunity to clean himself up and present as the very best version of himself for the next time he see's her. But when Agatha comes to ask for the money back Lionel succumbs to his condition and exposes his secret. (MAGICAL REALISM)
