When a highly-successful psychologist saves a man on the street from suicide, she decides she isn’t helping enough people who really need it, and starts a “mobile therapist” ride company, counseling strangers from pick-up to destination; until one-day she accepts a fare across country from a man with real demons to confront.

The teenager in "Ordinary People" (1980) has a very specific "serious issue": the impulse to commit suicide because of guilt and anger over the death of his brother in a boating accident. The stakes are as high as they get: his life. He's already tried to commit suicide once, he may try again.
