Andrea is wallowing in her misery after a bad breakup. Meanwhile, DJ Krillz is playing hot new beats in the zoom club world due to COVID-19. Andrea is pushed out of her element and thrown in to the world of zoom clubbing by her best friend, Dylan.

"I remember reading an article about a club in NYC offering virtual access to DJs and I thought this can't be real! But IT IS! I don't know how they did it in real life, but I imagined the idea of a zoom bouncer and decided to make it into a quirky romantic comedy. This is also the largest remote cast I have ever worked with so that was also fun and exciting!" (Ashna Sharan)
