A rideshare driver gets in over her head when saving an eight-year-old boy from a gang abduction.
RIDE SHARE is about Alex, a rideshare driver having a truly terrible LA night: dead phone, broken bumper, no money, too much stress, and zero emotional capacity left. Then she meets Jaylen, an eight-year-old boy whose mom and sister are missing and whose “family friend” has very bad energy. Alex does not want to get involved. She absolutely gets involved. What follows is a tense, darkly funny ride through late-night Los Angeles, where two strangers become an accidental team for one chaotic night.
