In the not-so-distant future people can go further than seamlessing a meal. They can seamless an orgasm.

Lucy, a scientist in Philadelphia, uses The Device to have random sex with faraway strangers to get over a partner who's recently left her. One night, The Device crashes while Lucy's in the simulation, leaving her stranded in a virtual sexpad. There, she's forced to have a conversation with the boy she's just been with: the cheating and challenging Will.

Only then, does Lucy finally find true connection and intimacy.
