Midnight Taxi

筋書き

Driving a Black Cab night after night is a quiet and simple life for Eddie Carter. The cab he drives
was left to him by his late friend along with the unspoken request to look after his surviving
daughter, Rachel. Both Rachel and Eddie are wrestling with unmentioned loneliness and
uncertainty over handling their obligatory near-familial relationship.
When Eddie’s daytime sleep schedule is disturbed by construction work next door, he finds his
nighttime shifts requiring more coffee and exhaustion setting in. After pulling over for a break one
night, he awakens to a terrifying situation: ahead of his cab is the body of a murdered woman.
After this gruesome discovery and reporting it to the police, Eddie tries to move on by the sight
and his tiredness haunts him. The following night he awakens from a dream of the murder scene
to find that he has started sleepwalking again, a condition he suffered from as a child. Panic
creeps in as he realises that there is a chance he may have been involved in the woman’s murder.
In an effort to clear his conscious, Eddie starts to quietly investigate the murder on his own. With
the help of frequent customer, investigative journalist Adam Blomfield, and high-end escort Karli
as a window into the underground world of London’s sex industry, Eddie soon finds himself
immersed in the murky depths of a city he’s been blindly driving through for years.
