Synopsis

An immigration lawyer named Mac finds himself at the mercy of potential muggers when his car breaks down in a bad part of town late at night. The muggers are talked out of victimizing Mac by Simon, a tow-truck driver who arrives just in time. After that night Mac sets out to befriend Simon, despite their having nothing in common. Mac seems unaware that his desire to befriend Simon is actually a form of mid-life crisis, mixed with racial guilt that he is well-off while Simon is struggling financially.
