A YouTube personality, Ryan, attempts to trade a penny for a house within seven days. He starts by trading the penny for a pen, then a motorcycle, a 20-year-old truck, and so on. After multiple trades, he gets a 1997 Chevy Suburban, which he trades with a builder, Fonzie, for a tiny home. Fonzie's tiny home is the closest Ryan has gotten to an actual house, and he is hopeful that this trade will lead him to his goal. The tiny home is intended for one of Ryan's subscribers, Hannah, who is a small business owner from Austin. Throughout the video, Ryan faces setbacks and rejections but eventually succeeds in trading up to the tiny home, which is the best possible tiny home Fonzie has to offer.
