Emergency (R)
synopsis
Kunle and his best friend, Sean are both seniors in college about to embark on an epic night of Spring Break parties. They return to their apartment to pre-game, yet find that their roommate, Carlos, left the door open. They enter to discover a drunk, semi-conscious White female they don't know on the floor and an oblivious Carlos, who didn't hear her come in over the videogame blaring in his ears. Kunle wants to call the cops but Sean vehemently opposes the idea concerned how it will look when the cops show up (two Black men, one Latino man and a passed out White woman). Together, Carlos, Sean and Kunle load the girl, Emma, into Sean's van, with the intention of taking her somewhere safe rather than calling the police. Meanwhile, Emma's sister, Maddy, starts searching for her in a drunk panic using Emma's phone's location. What ensues is a chaotic, hilarious, and tension- filled chase all over town.
