Milo Burress was an Army veteran who'd come back from the war a little worse for wear, and instead of coming home to a ticker tape parade in honor of a war hero with a Purple Heart, he ended up living on the streets begging for chump change. But not for long. Several years later, after a lot of hard work and determination, he owned his own taxi service, his hopes and dreams of starting a new life finally come true. What he hadn't expected, though, was fate tossing him another curve ball, in the form of Gilbert Fox, a career criminal who takes a ride in the taxi one night, and proceeds to try and rob Milo - who responds to the robbery attempt with a .38 caliber bullet. Now he has the whole Fox family on his trail, but Milo isn't worried too much; he's former military, spent a lot of time sniffing out the enemy in the bush, and if the Fox family wants a war, Milo will gladly oblige them, because now he is out for blood, too.

戦地から帰還し、どん底から這い上がった男が掴んだ「タクシー」という平穏。本作の核心は、退役軍人が抱える消えない戦場の影と、日常を戦場へと変容させる極限の心理描写にあります。デヴィッド・ボイヤーは、乾いた筆致で暴力の連鎖を描き、読者に「真の安息とは何か」を鋭く問いかけます。 映像版では都市の不穏な熱気が際立ちますが、原作には文字ならではのミロの静かな狂気が濃密に刻まれています。血を求める追跡劇の裏側に流れる、孤独な魂の叫び。両メディアを味わうことで、一人の男が戦士へと回帰していく凄絶なドラマは、より重層的な輝きを放ち、私たちの心を激しく揺さぶるのです。
