Kitab and Aziz are London roommates who live for their digital connections. They obsessively check their phones, constantly update their online personas, and can barely get through a conversation without glancing at a screen. But when a stranger starts impersonating Kitab online, the brothers must confront the thin line between their virtual selves and the people they are in the "meatspace" of the physical world. As their online and offline lives collide, Kitab and Aziz are forced to reckon with who they truly are when stripped of their digital masks.
