Octet: A Symphony of Struggles and Serenity in the Digital Age

Synopsis

In a quiet church basement, eight strangers gather for a late-night support meeting, each struggling with a different form of internet addiction. From compulsive online shopping to conspiracy rabbit holes, their dependencies have quietly unraveled their lives. As the group works through a twelve-step-style program, they share confessions, resist urges, and confront the uncomfortable truth about how deeply technology has rewired their thoughts and relationships. The meeting unfolds entirely through interwoven vocal harmonies, transforming personal stories into a haunting collective chorus. Tensions rise as denial clashes with vulnerability, and not everyone is ready to let go of the digital worlds they’ve built. As the night progresses, moments of humor, pain, and connection emerge, revealing the fragile humanity beneath their habits. By the end, the group must decide whether they can truly disconnect—or if the pull of the online world is stronger than their desire to heal.
