'What's going on?' The son asks from the back seat, confused by the sudden inability to get through an intersection. 'I don't know,' the mother answers, looking like she's waking up from a sad daydream. These are two of the 7 characters stuck in a strange tug-of-war at a 5-way stop. The pizza driver is yelling for everyone to go. A pickup truck aggressively revs his engine in attempts to get through. The college girl, with a bandaged hand, gets ticked off and her friend thinks it's funny. The old guy's head swing back with the rhythm of the stop and go, brakes squealing.
