A broke, exhausted LA rideshare driver with a duct-taped Prius, a dead phone, and a court date is just trying to survive one more shift when she meets Jaylen, an eight-year-old whose mom vanished while searching for his missing sister, Lily. Against every selfish instinct she has left, Alex saves him from a creepy stranger with a gun, dumps him at the police station, tells herself she did the right thing, then finds a hidden clue inside his broken Transformer that pulls her straight into the ignored darkness of Figueroa Street. When she realizes the danger may reach inside the LAPD itself, Alex has one terrible choice: walk away like everyone else, or follow the car taking Jaylen.
