โฆ Synopsis
A hilarious and poignant reflection on what money can and cannot fix
58,642,129. Thatโs how many dollars seventeen-year-old Fortuna Jane Belleweather just won in the lotto jackpot. Itโs also about how many reasons she has for not coming forward to claim her prize.
Problem #1: Jane is still a minor, and if anyone discovers she bought the ticket underage, sheโll either have to forfeit the ticket, or worse . . .
Problem #2: Let her hoarder mother cash it. The last thing Janeโs mom needs is millions of dollars to buy more junk. Then . . .
Problem #3: Janeโs best friend, aspiring journalist Brandon Kim, declares on the news that heโs going to find the lucky winner. Itโs one thing to keep her secret from the town โ itโs another thing entirely to lie to her best friend. Especially when . . .
Problem #4: Janeโs ex-boyfriend, Holden, is suddenly back in her life, and he has big ideas about what heโd do with the prize money. As suspicion and jealousy turn neighbor against neighbor, and no good options for cashing the ticket come forward, Jane begins to wonder: Could this much money actually be a bad thing?
