Opening with dollar floating in a swimming pool, then we see it's on a hook. Luke is also in the pool- he stares at his money, his house, his girl (who is holding the fishing pole) gets out of the pool, and walks into the woods, shedding his clothing, his possessions.
While walking in the woods, we see flashbacks to how Luke got here. Luke coming to the big city, Luke in interviews, Luke bustling around, Luke making money, buying a house. These scenes are cut against Luke wandering through the woods, trying to get deeper and deeper, further from the things he used to hold dear.
Unfortunately, he keeps finding things in the woods that remind him of civilization, and hes trudges on, frustrated. He always has a possession with him, which he keeps trading down. The opposite of the paperclip story.
The finale of the story is presented when Luke keeps pushing through the woods, until he has pushed so far he comes out the other side, standing on a hillside, staring at San Francisco. He straightens up his tie, cleans his hair, and approaches the city to start over again.
