Someone drops a £5 note that is picked up by another person who chases after them to return it. During the chase, the finder sees that the note has a rare code making it worth a lot of money, so they decide to keep it for themselves. Their greed is shown to change them from an honest person wanting to do a good deed into a selfish person more concerned with money. The 2-minute film would follow the chase through various locations from both characters' perspectives and show how greed can corrupt people. It is intended to be viewed online.
