Plot
Jordan is a 30-something with terminal cancer in 2027 who spends his final days drifting between morphine dreams and digital distractions. On a whim, he uses an old Chatroulette-style app and on the screen appears Danny, a sarcastic, vibrant guy, also terminally ill, who swears it’s 2005. As days pass, the two men form a deep bond, opening up about their regrets, dreams and the loneliness of facing death too soon.
