When a longtime struggling actor has to move from his rent-controlled apartment to a higher-priced building, the financial burden becomes very stressful. Fortunately, he has a solution: He becomes an Uber driver. What begins merely as a side gig to help cover bills becomes a fascinating exploration of the human condition. Whether it’s the burnt-out rock n’ roll musician trying to find one last spark, the carefree spoken-word artist who oozes vitality and confidence, the threatening drunk on his way home from a night of carousing, or the wise sage who has the perfect advice at just the right time, each ride takes on a life of its own. All the while, the characters, conversations, connections, and conflicts that he’s exposed to help him navigate his own journey. A journey that includes looking after his ailing mom, riding the Tinseltown rollercoaster, and simply trying to better understand life itself.
