The audience in their car safely enjoyed the screening. Sud commented that she had been seeing the show on the big screen for the first time. The Strangers was made for small screens and phone screens. She felt watching the real-time thriller show in Dehaan terrorizes Monroe under the starry sky of Los Angeles appropriate. She added that the film is a love letter to Los Angeles and it is inspired by many things. She said L.A is a city that we know, and we love, but we do not find them much in our movies. Sud also spoke of her optimism for the future of Quibi. She said there is much more to discover in the Quibi format, and this is a new way to interact and watch stories.

The story started at night when a rideshare driver named Claire picked her next passenger named, Carl E., from a mansion in Los Angeles. Claire, on the other hand, was new to the city and unaware of the landscape in L.A, and hence it took her a longer route than usual. Carl reveals that he had murdered the family of the mansion in forty minutes, and if Claire told him a good story, he would not kill her.
