The story

Solo, a Senegalese cab driver, is working to provide a better life for his young family in Winston-Salem, North Carolina.

William, an old man with a lifetime of regrets, hires Solo to take him to Blowing Rock, a peak in which updrafts cause objects that are dropped from it to fly upwards.

William does not ask for a ride back from the rock and is obviously depressed, so Solo assumes that the old man intends to commit suicide there.
