Five teens, glued to their phones, embark on a school trip. Obsessed with selfies, Instagram stories, and viral posts, they quickly grow bored with the natural beauty around them and the teacher’s itinerary. Eager for excitement, they secretly veer off the path, letting their GPS guide them on a private adventure. But when their phones die and they find themselves stranded in the vast desert, they’re faced with a challenge unlike any they’ve ever encountered—connecting without screens.

For the first time, they must rely on each other, sharing personal stories, fears, and dreams. What starts as a digital detox turns into a powerful journey of discovery, as they realize there’s so much more to their classmates than they ever knew in the virtual world. Stranded together, they learn that real human connection with five true friends is worth far more than thousands of virtual ones.
