Uber drivers tend to be more than drivers. They hear their passengers problems, take them through drive-ins to get food, and they may even help find killers. Stu (Kumail Nanjiani), is a mild-mannered Uber driver whose  life dramatically changes the day he picks up LAPD detective Vic Manning (Dave Bautista). The detective loses his partner during a shoot-out and is obsessed with finding the killer. Unfortunately he gets a clue right after having eye surgery so he can’t drive. He ends up getting an Uber and his driver is none other than the soft spoken, sweet man named Stu. Now Stu reluctantly gets involved with finding the killer while he’s still trying to keep up his five star rating.
