Everything's Gone Green

Ryan experiences a devastating breakup with his girlfriend, leaving him heartbroken and alone. Compounded by this loss, he is evicted from their shared apartment, marking a low point in his life.

After being late to work at his mundane job in an IT company, Ryan faces suspension pending a psychological evaluation. This event underscores his unstable mental state and the reactions from his employers.

In a fit of anger and frustration from his recent setbacks, Ryan vandalizes his workspace at the IT company. This impulsive act serves as a declaration of his dissatisfaction and leads to him quitting his job on the spot.

Ryan receives a shocking phone call from his family, claiming they have won an astonishing $4.3 million in the BC lottery. This unexpected news brings a glimmer of hope amidst his troubles and ignites his curiosity about wealth and fortune.

He prepares for an important interview at the lottery bureau, where he will have the chance to meet and photograph new lottery winners. This event signals a potential new chapter in Ryan's life as he contemplates the implications of newfound wealth.

Instead of heading straight to the lottery bureau, Ryan takes a detour to the beach. Here, he pays tribute to a stranded whale, drawing parallels between the creature's plight and his own feelings of isolation.

At the beach, Ryan encounters Ming, a talented set designer currently involved with Bryce, a golf-course designer known for his shady dealings. This meeting marks the beginning of a complex relationship that challenges Ryan's moral compass.

Bryce presents Ryan with a tempting proposal to join a lucrative money-laundering scheme targeting recent lottery winners. Ryan is drawn to the allure of quick money, though he begins to sense the moral ambiguity of the situation.

As Ryan learns more about lottery winners, he discovers that many fall into dire circumstances and often end up worse off. This revelation forces him to reflect on the true cost of wealth and the hidden dangers that come with it.

Ryan uncovers a shocking secret: his parents have been secretly operating a marijuana grow-operation in their basement. This revelation complicates his views on family, legality, and the world of money-making.

With his life in tumult, Ryan must confront the many choices and influences surrounding him. He stands at a crossroads, debating whether to pursue the tempting but risky path of financial gain or to reclaim his moral values.

As Ryan gets deeper into Bryce's world, he realizes that earning Ming's trust is becoming increasingly difficult. Her skepticism towards his choices pressures him to rethink his decisions and the direction of his life.

Amidst the chaos of newfound wealth and shady dealings, Ryan begins to reflect on the importance of reconnecting with the significant people in his life. This personal introspection leads him to consider what truly matters beyond money.

In the final act of his journey, Ryan must make a definitive decision regarding his future. He weighs the seductive pull of financial gain against the need to restore his personal values and rebuild important relationships.
