When a struggling writer—HIV-positive for 20+ years—deposits a $100 birthday check, he is dropped from his health plan for earning too much. In an era of quasi-universal care, his only options are long shots: take on a faceless bureaucracy, or come up with $3000 a month to buy medication. A quirky comedy with an engaging ensemble cast.
