A seventeen-year-old girl hasn't left her
room in an indefinite amount of time.
Those like her call them hikikomori,
they are teenagers who decide to build
themselves a little prison, leaving
the outside world outside the door.
The only person she interacts with is
her father, who passes her what she
needs to survive through a crack.
Her routine is broken when, online,
she meets Dev, a boy ten years older.
The two fall in love immediately, despite
the half-lived relationship, filtered
through computer screens. For her it
is the first, long-awaited love. In order
to experience it, and meet Dev, she
must overcome her fears and leave that
cage. But there is someone willing to do
anything to prevent her from getting out
of there.
