New to Los Angeles, a rideshare driver Clar (Maika Monroe) picks up Carl (Dane DeHaan) from a home deep in the Hollywood Hills. What begins as a routine ride turns into Clare's worst nightmare: a twelve-hour fight for survival through the city's seedy underbelly. Carl is not the passenger Clare thought he was, and Clare is not easy prey.  This is a particularly unique case that storyteller and filmmaker Veena Sud found herself in – full copyright ownership of her TV series, that would be produced and released.
