For Michael Shiver, life as an easy-going cab driver in New York suddenly changes when he picks up supermodel Sarah Easton and falls head over heels in love. But Sarah has more than just passion on her mind; she also has a husband and a glamorous lifestyle that she can't seem to leave behind. Torn between her feelings for Michael and the security of her marriage, Sarah is forced to make a realistic decision about the sacrifices that must be made to be truly and totally in love.
Writing
Schaeffer's spoken-word poetry voiceover is divisive but unforgettable.
Acting
Amanda de Cadenet brings surprising depth to the 'unattainable woman' trope.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Eric Schaeffer self-financed this after his debut 'My Life's in Turnaround,' continuing his pattern of casting himself as everywoman's unlikely object of desire.
This captures peak 90s indie cinema's obsession with working-class male artists pursuing unobtainable women—think 'Sideways' but with more earnest poetry and less wine.
