When a massive blackout plunges Manhattan into darkness, the flickering chaos illuminates the shaky connection between Mina, a whip-smart epidemiologist played by Negin Farsad, and her charming but perpetually distracted tech-boyfriend Ethan, portrayed by Jeremy Redleaf. Forced to abandon their screens and actually talk, their relationship faces a hilarious and heartfelt stress test on the sweltering, candlelit streets of the Lower East Side. As they navigate the absurdities of a city in crisis—encountering a quirky ensemble including a sardonic neighbor (Janeane Garofalo) and a pompous tech guru (John Hodgman)—Mina and Ethan must confront whether their digital-age romance can survive a very analog reality. This witty and warm romantic comedy from directors Negin Farsad and Jeremy Redleaf explores love, connection, and the unexpected joys that can emerge when the power goes out for good.
