Plot: Spreading the good spirit
Based on the book by Dete Meserve, 'Good Sam' revolves around New York City TV news reporter Kate Bradley who sets out to report on a positive story instead of her usual risky, "bummer beat" stories. She is tasked with a feel-good story that may challenge her own cynicism and has to investigate a good samaritan aka "Good Sam" who mysteriously leaves $100,000 in cash on seemingly random doorsteps. The good sam spirit seems to be spreading too. "People say New York City is a tough place. But thanks to Good Sam, I see more kindness between strangers," Bradley can be heard saying towards the end of the trailer.
