Also released as 'Chicago Cab'. Adapted from Will Kern’s 1992 play 'Hellcab' about a winter's day in the life of a Windy City cab driver, beginning at 6am in 20 below zero degree weather. Johnny is that rare type of cab driver who will drive anywhere and pick up anyone, and during the 14 hours compressed here into 95 minutes, he ferries about some two-dozen passengers, including a rape victim, a hyped-up drug runner, a pregnant woman, and holiday shoppers. Johnny is frustrated that he can't seem to make genuine connections with his passengers or help them. Instead, he can only observe a rear-view image mirroring the passing parade of humanity.
