Twenty-somethings Cody (John Gallagher Jr.) and Virginia (Kate Lyn Sheil) are in a thoroughly modern Internet-based relationship. He's in Brooklyn, she's in Berlin, and they have never met physically. When Cody suspects Virginia may be harboring secrets behind the laptop, he spirals into a paranoid hunt for the truth, no matter how unsettling. The Heart Machine is both a suspenseful psychodrama of love-fueled obsession and an insightful examination of how we make connections in an emotionally disconnected digital age.
