(1994)

In a gripping and thought-provoking drama, “It Could Happen to You” unravels the entwined lives of two strangers whose worlds collide in the most unexpected way. The story revolves around Claire, a compassionate yet disillusioned social worker in her early thirties, who dedicates her life to helping at-risk youths navigate the complexities of their environment. After a series of personal setbacks, including a messy divorce and mounting student debt, Claire grapples with feelings of inadequacy and burnout.

On the other side of the city, we meet Jensen, an ambitious but ethically conflicted corporate lawyer on the brink of greatness. Struggling to balance a demanding career with his strained family life, Jensen battles his conscience as he clouds his ideals in pursuit of success.

As they forge an unlikely friendship, the series explores the concept of empathy and the fragile nature of human connection. As their lives become increasingly intertwined, both face an unexpected crisis when Claire discovers a troubling secret about Jensen’s upcoming corporate acquisition, one that could have dire consequences for the community she cherishes.
