Elias and Clara have spent three years falling in love through 1080p screens and time-stamped texts. When they finally reunite at a remote cabin in the Pacific Northwest, the digital perfection shatters. Elias, a London architect, is hiding a career-ending failure, while Clara, a ghostwriter, is haunted by a stolen manuscript that could land her in prison.
As the "perfect" versions of themselves dissolve in the mountain mist, they are forced to confront a brutal reality: they are strangers who know everything and nothing about each other. In a world no longer filtered by static, they must choose between the polished lies of the past or the messy, painful work of real forgiveness.
