In the year 2060, everything is done
digitally. Kids no longer go to schools. They stay home and
take classes online. Adults work from home, too. Even dating
is no longer done in person. Why walk on a real
beach when you can stroll down a digitally remastered one
instead? No bad weather, no seagulls, nothing real to ruin a
perfectly fine time.
Though
she's grown up in this digital world, something about being
cut off from everyone doesn't sit right with
seventeen-year-old Madeline. Her favorite activity--the only
one she does off line--is soccer. She likes the physicality
of it and the comradery with the other girls.
Then she meets Justin. He, too,
prefers life off line. It's all he talks about. He even
takes her out to a real coffee shop and an underground club.
Maybe it's his attentiveness, or the physical closeness of
actually being with someone, or just that he's very good
looking, Madie is definitely drawn to him. But there's also
something very aloof about him, like perhaps he's
hiding something.
When Madie
uncovers the truth, she's faced with the question: What's
more important, fighting for what you believe in or love?
