Description
California, the near future - the entire world is now a smart device, thanks to a new brand of bright blue augmented reality (AR) contact lens planted in the human eye. Patrick is a loner who suffers from a crippling case of agoraphobia triggered by his parents’ traumatic death. A mysterious man pays Patrick a virtual visit, introducing an app called REFRESH that promises to turn his life around. Patrick is initially skeptical, but reverses course after REFRESH quickly changes Patrick’s life, gamifying everything in sight and encouraging him to score higher at every possible task in life — cleaning, cooking, exercising, getting a makeover, buying a car, even excelling at simple conversations. As he grows increasingly reliant on REFRESH’s interactive technology to function on a day-to-day basis, Patrick successfully reconnects with Emily, an attractive young woman whom he had a crush on back in high school. The night of their high school reunion, Patrick’s REFRESH app mysteriously glitches and shuts down, sending him into a psychological downward spiral.
