WAIT AND RETURN is a darkly funny workplace drama set in a Hollywood black-car dispatch office during awards season following the Golden Globes. As wildfires rage throughout Los Angeles the entertainment industry is thrust into uncertaintity. For the drivers, the coveted bookings that shuttle talent, executives, and industry players can mean the difference between making rent or falling behind. But as cancellations mount, tips shrink, and competition for rides intensifies, tensions inside the dispatch room begin to crack. When a valuable item goes missing, loyalties, reputations and someone’s job are suddenly on the line.
