When she stumbles into a chatroom and begins to make online friends, her views begin to change, opening her up to new emotions both online and off. But can she trust the new friendships she has forged? Will Angela allow herself to fully open up to these new-found online acquaintances, who may hail from various online backgrounds such as chat rooms, free poker forums, or elsewhere on the 'Net? She quickly finds herself wedged between intriguing Ben (Derek McGrath) and grieving father Isaac (Stephen Woosley). She begins to realize that these men desire exclusive attention, and to juggle them, she finds herself losing control of reality.
