Synopsis

Thomas Brenner is a taxi driver in his forties, experiencing few surprises in his mundane day-to-day life. Ideally, he would like to be invisible to the world around him. However, one day, his customers, including their huge dog Roxy turn out to be Russians on the run from… people who don’t like to be messed with. Levan, the boss, takes a liking in Thomas and asks him for some more rides and favors in the days to come. Initially, Thomas joins for the money, but when he meets Liza, Levan’s attractive wife and their young son Vova, his motives change. Thomas is sucked into a deep pit of lies, friendship, love and loyalty and develops skills he didn’t think he was capable of.
