A reclusive condominium dweller, with issues of longing and paranoia, is confined to the safety of self-imposed house arrest due to a mysterious outside catastrophe. As he witnesses society unfold without him, he loses control of reason, slipping deeper into madness as he becomes more reliant on his internet signal, and an ongoing chat conversation with an Indian help desk agent named Candy. Signal Fire is a gripping portrait of a man despondent by despair and emotionally charred by the disjointedness of reality, whose existence is tempered by his own depreciation of modern life and what makes us human.
