On the eve of her escape, a woman hiding in a secluded farmhouse must outwit her abusive ex and survive the night — but the closer freedom gets, the more dangerous the truth becomes
The Exit Plan is a character-driven thriller that unfolds over the course of a single day as Adrena Clark, a young woman, hidden deep in a rural farmhouse, prepares to disappear forever. But as her final hours of freedom tick away, eerie clues and digital threats signal that she’s no longer alone. With no one to trust, she must rely on her instincts—and her “exit plan”—to escape the cycle of violence she’s survived for years.
Shot mostly in 50mm and filmed with a one-person crew, a single actor, and minimalist gear, this indie delivers moody, intimate tension through bold cinematography and purposeful stillness. The Exit Plan explores the weight of isolation, the subtle genius of survival, and what it costs to reclaim your life.
The Exit Plan is a slow-burning, emotionally tense thriller that follows Adrena Clark, a young woman in the final hours before she attempts to vanish from her abusive relationship and start a new life abroad. Hidden in a rustic farmhouse in East Texas, Adrena has meticulously planned every detail of her escape – fake documents, burner phones, false identities – but time is running out, and she can feel the danger closing in.
Alone in a house surrounded by shadows and memory, Adrena moves through the space with quiet urgency, double-checking her gear, replaying conversations in her mind, and trying to stay one step ahead of a man who’s always been two steps behind her. What begins as a silent psychological retreat quickly becomes a high-stakes countdown as disturbing messages and digital traces reveal: she’s been found.
Told in real time, The Exit Plan, is an indie survival story rooted in stillness, symbolism, and suspense. As the film unravels across intimate close-ups and moody, color-rich visuals, Adrena must fight for control over her own narrative – not with violence, but with presence, planning, and power. In the end, it’s not just about whether she gets away… but whether she ever truly escaped in the first place
