The shooting script outlines 9 scenes following the journey of a penny as it is dropped, picked up, and passed between various characters over the course of two years. In the first scene, the penny is dropped on the ground from an unspecified point of view. Subsequent scenes introduce new characters finding the penny and either using it or dropping it again. Minor good fortunes coincide with possessing the penny. The penny brings together a romantic couple, and its journey concludes when one character throws it to another while being proposed to.
