Synopsis

Micah only has twenty minutes to finish her paper on The Great Gatsby.

She just needs to check a few facts on the internet first.

Unfortunately, the web is a nefariously wacky place where boxing cats, Facebook lurkers and pig-throwing games threaten to take over Micah's schoolwork, or worse.

Will she finish her paper and escape with her life before the school bell rings?

A high-octane comedy that explores the rabbit hole of distraction we all go down every time we go online.

Also available in a one-act version .
