When life gives you lemons in the form of an unexpected problem, you make lemonade in the guise of an unexpected solution. This is Fig's philosophy, and he has perfected it to an art form over the course of his movie-making career. In It's Not Going to Happen by Henry Cox, Julieta Winfield accompanied her cousin to an audition with a modeling agency when a disgruntled model produced a gun from her purse, and chaos ensued. Fig also happened to be visiting at the time, but in a room full of adults, it was fifteen-year-old Julieta who took charge of the situation. A perfect talent in Fig's opinion. Years later, however, he reveals his ulterior motive for recruiting Julieta and convinces her to start preparing. But the assignment would never be completed. At least, not by Julieta, and Frank Ignacio Ghirardelli has to find an alternative to his multi-year plan in one night. Can he do it this time, or is it truly not going to happen?

It's Not Going to Happen is a thrilling story in which the line between ethics and outright evil is nonexistent, and personal safety becomes an afterthought. It is a compelling blend of science fiction, espionage, and some drama. The plot builds up the pace with several characters—each with a backstory—whose lives run parallel to one another before intersecting in a flurry of activity. At times, the characters are so relatable that even the bad guys do not seem bad. I also liked how Cox used elements of suspense, humor, and realism, such as the sound made by a guitar when connected to an amp, to ramp up the entertainment value and drive the plot.
