Zachary Wigon's drama The Heart Machine begins with Cody (John Gallagher Jr.) and Virginia (Kate Lyn Sheil) falling madly in love, even though they've never met in the flesh. They've built their relationship online since he's in New York and she's in Berlin, but Cody begins to suspect that the woman he's spent so much time with may be lying to him, and that maybe she isn't in Berlin at all. He subsequently becomes obsessed with finding out the truth.
