SYNOPSIS
Synopsis: O'Shea, a diligent Uber driver in Markham, takes pride in his flawless 5.0-star rating as he hustles to make ends meet. One day, while waiting for his next passenger — a wealthy Hong Kong socialite named Circle — his ordinary shift takes an extraordinary turn. Two chaotic robbers from China, fresh off a heist at a Japanese restaurant, barge into his car. What follows is a wild, culturally charged ride that’s equal parts comedic and heartfelt, as O'Shea navigates the clash of personalities and unexpected twists in this unpredictable journey. This independent Canadian production is a collaboration between young Canadian filmmakers and members of the Chinese and Hong Kong diasporas.
