CASTING FOR: The Road to Plan C

A short film centered around a group of college friends embarking on a transformative journey through rural Idaho in search of Plan B. Motivated by the aftermath of a bad sexual encounter experienced by one of our characters, these friends will go to almost any length to obtain contraceptives.
