Twelve Years

Larry and Nancy meet in the New York blackout of 1965, while the city parties. Twelve years on, in the blackout of 1977, the city, and the couple, fight for survival.

A love story told across the two New York blackouts of 1965 and 1977.

Larry and Nancy meet during the first blackout, while the prosperous city enjoys a spontaneous holiday. Twelve years on, the city is very different: rioting and looting accompany the blackout in a time of economic depression, and the couple must fight for their survival in a world which seems irrevocably changed.
