MARCH 14th WORLD PREMIERE SCREENING OF PLAN C INCLUDES VIVICA A. FOX MAVERICK SPIRIT AWARD CONVERSATION
Plan C is a relentless race against time in a world where loyalty costs more than money and mistakes compound fast. Clare and Danny Accardi are ride-or-die siblings and small-time criminals backed into a corner. A robbery meant to keep them afloat detonates instead, leaving one of them with only hours to live—and no legal way out.
Once the clock starts, survival becomes pure improvisation. Every choice burns a bridge. Every solution creates a worse problem. What begins as a crime story mutates into something far more volatile, probing the moral gray zones people enter when love demands action faster than conscience can keep up.
The film moves through economically scarred border towns, sterile medical spaces, and places designed to be temporary. These locations aren’t spectacle—they’re consequences. Clare and Danny operate inside systems that have already failed them, where time is weaponized and desperation is endlessly renewable.
At the center is a bond that is unconditional, deeply flawed, and corrosively loyal. Dark comedy sharpens the tension rather than relieving it, offering brief breaths before the pressure snaps back harder. Shot with a cinéma vérité immediacy, Plan C stays uncomfortably close, trapping the audience inside the same narrowing window as its characters.
Raw, unsentimental, and urgently human, Plan C asks how far love can stretch before it turns dangerous—and what people owe each other when there’s no time left to be good.
