In 1999, the dawning of the internet era brings about a quirky twist at a newspaper office where personal emails between two friends, Beth and Jennifer, are monitored as part of the company policy. Enter Lincoln O'Neill: the man behind the screen, an 'internet security officer' tasked with the unusual job of reading others' emails. As the endless stream of personal exchanges flows before his eyes, Lincoln finds humor and connection in Beth and Jennifer's words. Despite the professional boundary, their stories captivate him, and soon, Lincoln realizes he's falling for Beth. Yet, he's trapped in the shadows of anonymity, faced with the impossibility of revealing his feelings without exposing his secret - that he's the unseen reader of her private thoughts. As their virtual paths intersect, Lincoln must gather the courage to bridge the gap between virtual affection and real-life romance, navigating through the complexities of love, privacy, and the leap of revealing one's true self.
