A struggling factory worker, burdened by debt and family responsibilities, risks everything to stand up against corporate exploitation after a workplace accident changes his life forever.
Act 1: The Daily Grind
Jimmy Carter (40s), a devoted but exhausted factory worker, clocks in another grueling shift at Milford Manufacturing. He’s a loyal employee, but the plant’s conditions are deteriorating—long hours, unsafe equipment, and management turning a blind eye. At home, Jimmy’s wife, Lisa, worries about their mounting bills, while their teenage son, Danny, dreams of college—something Jimmy can’t afford.
When Jimmy’s coworker and best friend, Manny, is injured due to faulty machinery, the company blames him for negligence. Manny is fired, leaving Jimmy questioning the system.
Act 2: The Breaking Point
After another worker, Old Pete, dies in a preventable accident, Jimmy discovers the company cut safety measures to boost profits. He tries to speak up but is threatened with termination. Desperate, he reaches out to a union organizer, Rosa, who urges him to rally the workers.
At first, Jimmy hesitates—his family depends on his paycheck. But when the company announces layoffs and benefit cuts, he realizes silence is no longer an option. He secretly organizes meetings, but management catches wind and fires him as a warning to others.
Act 3: The Fight Back
Now jobless and blacklisted, Jimmy faces eviction. Lisa is furious but ultimately stands by him. With Rosa’s help, Jimmy files a lawsuit and organizes a wildcat strike, rallying even the most fearful workers. The factory grinds to a halt.
The company retaliates—hiring scabs, calling police, and smearing Jimmy in the press. But when news leaks of the plant’s violations, public support grows. A tense standoff erupts between strikers and riot police.
In the climax, Jimmy delivers an impassioned speech on the factory floor:
“They call us replaceable. But who builds what they sell? Who bleeds for their profits? We do. And today, we say enough.”
The workers win. The company settles—better pay, safer conditions, and Manny’s reinstatement. Jimmy, though not rehired, finds work with a union and sends Danny to community college. The film ends with Jimmy mentoring new laborers, passing the torch.
