Travis Bickling is a lonely, sleep-deprived cab driver crawling through the greasy streets of 1970s New York City. Disgusted by the filth and corruption he sees through his windshield every night, he begins a slow descent into obsession, fuelled entirely by diner coffee and late-night pizza slices. As the city chews him up and spits him out, Travis decides to take matters into his own oversized hands. You talking to me? You must be, because nobody else is taking my order.
