On the Count of Three is a dark comedy-drama about two best friends, Val and Kevin, who form a suicide pact and spend their final day confronting personal traumas, settling scores, and facing the consequences of their decisions. The core narrative revolves around depression, childhood abuse, revenge, and a last-minute realization about the value of life. Some political dialogue on gun control and political correctness surfaces in the exchanges.
