SYNOPSIS:

Frank, a stoic, middle-aged bus driver, reluctantly takes the wheel of the “Party Bus Express” on

Halloween night. As the bus crawls through the vibrant streets of Nashville, Frank must shepherd a

wildly diverse group of passengers, including Danny, a flamboyant provocateur masking his terminal

cancer with biting humor; Lila, a bold flirt hiding her yearning for connection; and Ben and Ella, a

bickering couple at odds over Ella’s obsession with perfection and Ben’s laid-back pragmatism. Adding

To the chaos are Frank’s sharp-tongued ex, Melissa, and her theatrical boyfriend, Darnell, whose overthe-top antics amplify the group’s tension.

The night spirals into comedic and heartfelt chaos as the group’s personal struggles bubble to the

surface. Danny’s sharp wit and terminal diagnosis challenge others to confront their truths, while Ben

and Ella’s clashing personalities lead to both conflict and growth. Melissa needles Frank about his

failures, forcing him to wrestle with his guarded nature. Meanwhile, Donald the Bulldog—adorned in a

provides unexpected levity, becoming the unofficial mascot of the wild ride.

Through a series of hilarious and touching encounters, including a gas station pit stop and an

outrageous prank gone wrong, the group begins to shed their facades, forging unexpected connections.

By the journey’s end, each passenger is subtly transformed. Frank, left alone in the driver’s seat, allows

himself a rare smile as he watches the vibrant chaos fade in his rearview mirror with a renewed sense

of hope.
