In 'Connected,' we follow the chaotic life of Bradly 'B.D.' Duncan, a disorganized yet ambitious young man in his early 30s, who struggles to find his footing in both his career and personal life. After a series of late arrivals at work, Bradly finds himself on the brink of losing his job at an affiliate marketing company, where his best friend, Christopher 'C.J.' Jones, tries to keep him in line. C.J. is the sarcastic yet protective friend who has been by Bradly's side since childhood, always looking out for him. Meanwhile, across the globe in St. Petersburg, Russia, Mishka Pasynkova, a stunning and organized woman, is navigating her own challenges in the dating world, feeling the pressure from her friends to find love.
The story kicks off when Bradly, in a moment of desperation, signs up for a dating app called 'Thirst for Passion' while searching for a way to make quick cash. Unbeknownst to him, this decision will lead him to Mishka, who is also browsing the same app. Their lives become intertwined when a glitch in the app unexpectedly connects them in a live video chat, leading to a whirlwind of emotions and laughter as they share their lives across continents. As they bond over their shared experiences, both Bradly and Mishka begin to realize that they might have found something special in each other.
However, the connection is tested when Bradly's life in Portland becomes increasingly complicated. He faces pressure from his boss, Harvey, who is determined to keep him on a tight leash, and from C.J., who urges him to focus on real-life relationships instead of an online fantasy. Meanwhile, Mishka grapples with her own insecurities and the fear that Bradly might not be as invested in their relationship as she is. As they navigate their respective challenges, both characters must confront their fears of vulnerability and commitment. The tension escalates when Bradly's friends encourage him to date a local waitress, Rhonda, leading to a misunderstanding that leaves Mishka feeling abandoned. In a moment of heartbreak, she decides to move on, believing that Bradly has forgotten about her. Meanwhile, Bradly realizes that he cannot let go of his feelings for Mishka and embarks on a mission to find her, leading him to Chicago, where the dating app's headquarters are located.
In a climactic turn of events, Bradly and his friends confront the app's developers, hoping to retrieve Mishka's contact information. After a series of comedic mishaps and heartfelt moments, Bradly finally gets the chance to send an email to Mishka, expressing his true feelings. The story culminates in a touching exchange where both characters confess their love for each other, proving that their connection transcends distance and circumstance.
