Eight Days to Live is a 2006 television film produced by CTV about a mother who organizes a search and rescue for her son who drives off the road in the Lytton area of the Fraser Canyon of British Columbia.
It is based on the true story of nineteen year old Joe Spring who spent eight days trapped inside his red sports car.
Joe decides to leave Friday after work, driving overnight, and promises to call them as soon as he arrives the next morning.
Patti threw him out and broke his phone when she found out he was sexting with a girl named Lucinda.
With Tim needing to go to a job interview, Teresa and Becca drive up to Chasm and are able to locate Lucinda, who they learn is a player.
While searching with the team, Teresa finds an empty overturned vehicle which resembles Joe's car.
The police sergeant, Al Ramey, explains to Joe's family that since the search has reached the eighth day, it has been downgraded from a rescue to a recovery.
