How quickly do loyalties change when money, or even making any kind of actual effort to help someone, is involved. This idea forms the core of the narrative which is hilarious, entertaining and involving in equal measure.

The film opens on a very crucial day for Sylvia. She has just ended her marriage before coming into work. However, her day, and life, is about to be turned upside down when she wins the lottery for ten million dollars.
