A gritty, interconnected narrative following a dollar bill through the underbelly of a decaying Louisiana town, touching lives marked by addiction, loss, and moral compromise.

Shifting from one pocket to another, from one man's drama to another, a lowly dollar bill, 'one buck' takes us on an odyssey through the heart of a forgotten town in Louisiana.
