At night, rideshare driver Claire picks up her next passenger, Carl E., from a mansion in LA. Claire, who recently moved to LA from Wamego, Kansas, is unaware of the landscape in LA, causing her to take a longer route than normal. While driving, the pair decide to go on a date. When asked about the mansion, Carl reveals that he murdered the family inside 40 minutes before Claire picked him up. Having learned that Claire is an aspiring writer, Carl tells her that if she can tell him a good story, he won't kill her.
