Meanwhile, a widowed former police officer faces challenges raising his son, who is involved in cyberbullying a classmate. At the same time, an ambitious journalist discovers a teenager performing on an adult website and sees it as a chance to advance her career. Although these individuals are strangers, neighbors, and coworkers, their lives intersect as they each struggle to maintain meaningful connections in an increasingly digital world.
