Synopsis

Interweaving multiple emotional storylines about people searching for human connection in today’s wired world, DISCONNECT explores consequences of living life everywhere but right here.
A hard-working lawyer, attached to his cell phone, can't find the time to communicate with his family. An estranged couple uses the internet as a means to escape from their lifeless marriage. A widowed ex-cop struggles to raise a mischievous son who cyber-bullies a classmate. An ambitious journalist sees a career-making story in a teen that performs on an adult-only site. They are strangers, neighbors and colleagues and their stories collide in this compelling drama that explores the consequences of modern technology and how it defines our everyday relationships.
