Chatlines movie plot
According to Deadline, Chatlines is set in 2027 and follows Jordan, a 30-something with terminal cancer who spends his final days drifting between morphine dreams and digital distractions.
He uses an old video chat app and on the screen appears Danny, a sarcastic, vibrant guy, also terminally ill, who swears it’s 2005. As days pass, the two men form a deep bond, opening up about their regrets, dreams and the loneliness of facing death too soon.
