“I see Plight as a very accomplished film...” — Sean Baker (Anora, The Florida Project, Tangerine)

“The script wisely juxtaposes character-driven comedy with dystopian world-building akin to settings in projects like The Road, The Last of Us, and Children of Men.” — The Black List

Logline:

In an alternate dystopian reality, a forsaken brotherhood of young men embarks on a treacherous journey to get life-saving medication for their caregiver.

Synopsis:

Plight takes place in a near-future torn apart by civil war. The disabled and neurodivergent have been cast aside, forced to survive on society’s fringes. Among them are Peter, James, Bart, and Russell—four autistic young men cared for by their guardian, Connie, in a remote farmhouse. When Connie falls ill, they must brave the treacherous journey to New Haven for medicine.

Along the way, tensions rise over survival, missing supplies, and ruthless scavengers, but their shared dreams keep them going. In New Haven, they find little more than ruins—until Connie’s sister, Ronnie, offers them a new path forward.
