Offline Chemistry

Synopsis

Burned-out San Francisco app developer Harper Lin is desperate for a reset. Her solution? A mandatory 30-day digital detox in Hollow Ridge, a charming, if eccentric, town that has legally banned the internet. Expecting endless boredom and awkward group therapy, Harper is blindsided by Caleb Knox, a rugged ex-philosophy professor who traded city life for woodworking and quiet solitude after his own heartbreak. Caleb views tech-obsessed Harper with suspicion, while she struggles to navigate a world without Wi-Fi, their opposing lifestyles creating an undeniable tension. As Harper reluctantly embraces analog living, sparks fly with the skeptical Caleb, challenging her assumptions about genuine connection. But when a scandal erupts involving one of Harper’s past inventions, threatening the peaceful existence of Hollow Ridge, she is forced to confront the consequences of her hyper-connected past. Now, Harper must decide whether to return to the digital world she helped build, or choose the quiet strength of the man who sees her for who she is, offline and unplugged.
