You're a brilliant young woman facing a dilemma: living on minimum wage with your dignity intact, or renouncing your values and living off a golden goose. Which do you choose?

The day her employment counselor informs her she has "no special skills," Anna gives up on her ambitions and her brilliant career as a student. Now a warm-up act for a talk show, she finds consolation only in her relationship: she and Lulu have true love, the kind only two minimum-wage workers defying our consumer society could ever know. Until one day Lulu starts literally vomiting money. While he painfully purges himself of enough to keep her in designer handbags, Anna wonders: should she be worried over his health? Or rather somehow ensure that her golden goose never stops laying gross, excruciating eggs? Just how far is she willing to go to get her spot at the rich man's table?
