Amidst delusions of saving failed U.S. banks and car companies, an aging homeless man reconnects with a long-lost sweetheart via Facebook in this quirky tragicomedy. Very loosely inspired by Augustus Baldwin Longstreet's 1833 short story "The Dance" and updated for 21st century recession-era Austin.
