A high school senior named Alexa is getting ready for her graduation. While procrastinating getting ready Alexa scrolls through her phone. Seconds later her phone ends up slipping out of her hands and smacks her in the face. Within the blink of an eye she realizes that her mind is stuck in her cell phone. Her body went missing and she needs to find a way to escape before she misses graduation.
Along the way of her trying to find her way out she tries multiple apps and nothing seems to help. Her bossy friends are looking for her but Alexa is nowhere to be found. Snapchat, phone calls, texting, none of it gets her mind out of her phone. Everyone she tells doesn't believe her. While her parents tell her to stop joking around she gives up and decides not to tell anyone else because she knows they will just think the same thing. The only person that believes her is her brother Jake. Together they try to find a way out. But who knows if it will work and the clock will be ticking.
