Unable to bear the grief, Nella ‘takes resort’ to cyberspace where she befriends a virtual character, to whom she allows to take ‘control of her life and happiness’.

Little does she know that, in the process of executing her command, her by-now-ex-boyfriend lands up going missing.
Thereafter starts the fanatic search by Nella and her friends to find Joe. Do they succeed in finding Joie and what happens after that is what seemingly forms the rest of the gripping film!
