Synopsis

Most people have technological business cards, a whole pile of them. One of the top ones will have your name, another one your contact information. Go a little deeper, and you'll know about feelings. At the bottom are sexual fantasies and painful childhood memories. A newly minted couple must decide, how much to show when.
