Michael, seeking a fresh start, attempts a 24-hour digital detox. However, his brief disconnect from technology quickly devolves into a Kafkaesque nightmare when he discovers he's been framed for a crime. IT'S SO OVER is a dark comedy that explores the dystopian possibilities of our modern techno-surveillance society. The narrative unfolds entirely through the perspective of digital devices - surveillance footage, audio recordings, and raw data streams - exposing the unsettling omnipresence of digital technology.
