Her best friend Vincent and her aren’t as close as they used to be, the coffeehouse next door is taking all of their business, she doesn’t feel like she has any great qualities to share with others, and the list goes on. But then...suddenly one evening, she spots a homeless person who changes her outlook on everything in life simply by asking her what she most desires.
