Solo, a kindhearted and friendly 34-year-old Senegalese taxi driver in North Carolina, is hired by William, a tough 70-year-old white southerner, to drive him in two weeks' time to a mountaintop from which William plans to jump to his death. But Solo decides to charm his way into William's life by becoming his driver, taking him to visit drug dealers and bars, play pool, flirt with barmaids, and to meet Solo’s smart and independent nine-year-old stepdaughter. This odd couple begins an unexpected friendship as Solo hopes to change the old man's mind before the two weeks are up.
