Bob Trevino (John Leguizamo) works long hours alone at a construction company to support his wife, Jeanie. The couple has endured a lot in the past decade, to the point of ignoring his own feelings and need for connection. That is, until he gets an unexpected Facebook message from a stranger.
Anchored by Barbie Ferreira (HBO’s Euphoria) and John Leguizamo’s heartfelt lead performances, this semi-autobiographical feature from writer/director Tracie Laymon will forever change the way you look at social media, scrapbooking, rage rooms, and the obscured-yet-real interconnectedness of humanity.
