Souléymane, aka Solo, a Senegalese taxi driver in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, is hired by William, a stoic 70-year-old, to drive him in two weeks time to Blowing Rock, the peak of a jagged mountain. Solo comes to understand William's plan, and makes one of his own—to befriend the stubborn 70-year-old and dissuade him before the two weeks are up.
