Max has lived a mundane life as a cab driver for twelve years. The faces have come and gone from 
his rear-view mirror: people and places he's long since forgotten--until tonight. Vincent is a 
contract killer. When an off-shore narco-trafficking cartel learns that they're about to be indicted 
by a federal grand jury, they mount an operation to identify and kill the key witnesses, and the 
last stage is tonight. It is on this very night that Vincent has arrived--and five bodies are 
supposed to fall. Circumstances cause Vincent to hijack Max' taxicab, and Max becomes collateral-
-an expendable person who's in the wrong place at the wrong time. Through the night, Vincent forces 
Max to drive him to each assigned destination. And as the L.A.P.D. and F.B.I. race to intercept them, 
Max and Vincent's survival become dependent on each other, in ways neither would have imagined.

One night in Los Angeles, cab driver Max Durocher picks up a gray-suited man named Vincent. Vincent 
offers Max a large sum of money to drive him to five locations around LA before the night is up. Max 
accepts, but realizes that Vincent is a hitman who has been hired to kill five people that night. Max 
is forced to drive Vincent around the City of Angels, unsure if he'll live to see sunrise.
