Chance Plot Summary
What happens in Chance from start to finish, spoilers included, with a timeline of 12 key events. The opening is below; the full summary is a 3-minute read.
Spoilers ahead
Chance Amber Benson is a twenty-something slacker living in Los Angeles, who relies on a trust fund for finances and shares an apartment with her friend Simon James Marsters, an unsuccessful telemarketer who is self-conscious about his body odor. One day, Simon comes home from the grocery store to find a dead woman in Chance’s bed.
The film then goes back several months. Rory Rayder Woods, a struggling soap opera actor with whom Chance had a one-night stand, appears at her door and grows emotional, trying to convince her that they have a connection beyond just sex. To ease the tension, Chance and Simon spin a story about meeting in a mental institution, a tale that unnerves Rory enough to make him stop crying and leave.
