The movie will focus on a young, married executive who also has a flirtatious relationship with a woman he met online. As the two begin communicating back and forth, the relationship starts to affect the man's life in a deadly way. The article states that the studio is looking into ways to give the movie a stylized presentation in order to make the digital relationship more cinematic.
