A gritty, funny, heartfelt story about immigrant taxi drivers in early-80s Sydney, navigating survival, community, and belonging. The series kicks off New Year’s Eve 1979, when The Angels’ Opera House concert erupts into chaos.
Classic Aussie grit, opening and closing with proverbs: part street philosophy, part survival guide. The voice cuts through the noise like headlights in the rain.
Locator systems, CB radio party-lines, and clever tricks to dodge cops. Tran’s inventions turn chaos into comedy and make him indispensable.
The Angels riot, King’s Cross Coca-Cola sign, Rat Parties, and cabbie hangouts around Redfern, Marrickville, and the Cross. These set the backdrop for cabbie life.
Aussie pub rock, migrant sounds, and original tracks woven in. The soundtrack hums like a cab engine: raw, nostalgic, unforgettable.
Visuals: neon glow, cigarette smoke, headlights on wet asphalt. Tone: raw but warm, mixing absurdity and heart. Nostalgia for 80s Sydney, alive and unpolished.
