Act 1:
Mac is driving along his typical route in Brooklyn with Ben in the passenger seat when he picks up three female passengers who tell them of a prophecy. They tell Mac that he will not only be a cab driver but become the manager of the Yellow Cab Company and eventually become CEO. They also tell Ben that he won’t have any other position than a cab driver, but his sons will run the Yellow Cab company one day. When Mac enters his home, Duncan calls his cell and informs him that he is the newly appointed manager of the Yellow Cab company for the Brooklyn area and that he wants to stop by to personally congratulate him. Mac’s excitement rises by this news and once Mary is informed of the prophecy, she believes that the only way for Mac to come into power is to kill Duncan. She tells her husband of her plan to inebriate Duncan and his bodyguards so Mac can kill Duncan while they blame it on the other two who are passed out. When Duncan enters the apartment with his two bodyguards, Mac is convinced murder is his only option for power.

Acts 2 & 3
Now that Duncan has been disposed of and Mac is the new CEO of the Yellow Cab company, he is experiencing frequent episodes of paranoia in which he believes Ben’s sons will kill him to take power for themselves. Though Malcolm was heir to his father’s company, he wasn’t of age to be eligible to run such a large company, so Mac was easily able to take charge. Malcolm wanted to honor his father’s wish of merging with Uber/Lyft to be a more progressive company, but Mac decides against this in fear of losing control. Mac’s paranoia attacks continue to worsen and he decides to kill Ben and his son by sending a car to crash into them both. This murder plot only succeeds in killing Ben because Ben’s son still roams free in New York. Mac then sees Ben’s ghost at dinner that night, frightening him to his very core.
