Lisa Manning has a problem. The 35-year-old founder and CEO of 5Star, an uber-successful ride-sharing company, has been caught on video excoriating one of her drivers. With an IPO on the horizon, the board is livid and wants her out. Discreetly flying to Los Angeles to rehabilitate her image, she requests Bobby — the company's most accomplished driver, on the verge of his 10,000th ride, each rated five stars — as her personal driver. But when a second live TV interview makes matters even worse, Lisa leverages her newfound relationship with the naive and reticent Bobby to drag him along on a desperate image rescue, falling for him along the way. Then, what began as a nightmare becomes a catastrophe. 5Star explores the perils of a dangerously imbalanced relationship — in which one person's position of power upends an innocent’s life. Or is he? Think Gone Girl meets Taxi Driver.
Logline: The Founder of a ridesharing company enlists a five-star-rated driver to help save her job after a damaging video goes viral.
