An Arab cab driver picks up a troubled,
well-heeled professional woman with unexpected results.
Phoebe hails a taxi in midtown. Her driver Ashade
is happy for the big fare, but shocked to see Phoebe
get out at her destination, pick up a rock and scrape
it hard along the side of a parked minivan. Ashade
has just stepped into his own New York story, and
the middle of a revenge drama. Phoebe works on a
TV show about the hip-hop lifestyle, in which nouveau-riche
entertainers show off their extravagant bling, then
dismiss all criticism with the catchphrase, "Sorry,
haters!" She is disgusted by her job.
Worse, she blames Phyllis MacIntyre for her degrading
failures in work and in love. The van belongs to
Phyllis. None of this should mean much to Ashade,
but this is New York City: when strangers collide
by chance, they often leave their marks on each
other.
