Plot
In post-9/11 New York City, Syrian taxicab driver Ashade encounters a strange fare in Phoebe. Phoebe works for a network called Q-Dog, where she produces an MTV Cribs-style reality program titled Sorry, Haters. Though Phoebe engages in small talk with Ashade, it is clear that the woman is in an anxious state as she instructs him to drive to suburban New Jersey, placating his reservations with cash. In New Jersey, Phoebe has the cab stop outside a home where she can observe her ex-husband, her child and their house. According to Phoebe, her husband divorced her and re-married, obtaining the house and custody of their kid in the process. Before leaving, Phoebe vandalizes her ex-husband's car.
