Description:
Mitch Lawrence (Rob Lowe), a Chicago cabby and would be actor, is a man whose dreams are starting to fade. He's got a loving and pregnant wife and a decent clientele, including the successful writer Lou Webber (Joe Mantegna), but overall his life is one of quiet frustration, even desperation.
