In 2020 Philadelphia, amidst the upheaval of the pandemic and the racial tensions ignited by George Floyd's murder, Chauncey Johnson stubbornly clings to his Jitney, a cash-only taxi, a symbol of his defiance against corporate America. As the city grapples with unprecedented chaos, Chauncey must also confront a personal crisis: mending his fractured relationship with his son, recently released after twelve years for armed robbery.
