Driving a Black Cab night after night is a quiet and simple life for Eddie Carter, but 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.
The film is written and directed by Bertie Speirs and Samantha Speirs. It stars Ladi Emeruwa, Charlotte Price, and Eddie Eyre.

00:00Did you ever hurt anyone during an episode, even as a child?
00:10I don't know.
00:12Do you live with anyone else?
00:17I'm in company of all sorts every day.
00:19Yeah, a revolving door of passengers is a poor substitute for real human relationships.
00:25I'm having moments where I can't tell if I'm awake or asleep.
00:29It is very unusual for a sleepwalker to be violent.
00:39I don't think I've seen you since, remember?
00:43You're calling the police, yeah?
00:46You could be getting into Jack the Ripper's hybrid hatchback and be none the wiser.
00:51Forget Sony.
00:53I just couldn't wait to get out there tonight.
00:55The girl you pick up, there is she.
01:03You're seeing things that aren't there.
01:05Don't believe me.
01:11You need to reduce your stress.
01:22These rides are far more engaging than all my colleagues combined.
