Laid off and adrift, 28-year-old Joe Cheah seeks refuge in his digital archive of "Haven," an online forum from a more vibrant past. Driven by a sense of disconnection, he embarks on a quest to find the real people behind the usernames that once meant so much, especially the witty Sabrina_Fox, now a designer in Melbourne.
But his journey from Kuala Lumpur into the lives of his former online friends unearths more than just nostalgia. Each encounter-with a struggling mother, a pragmatic activist, a quiet artist-chips away at his idealized memories, forcing him to confront uncomfortable truths about the past, the present, and himself.
As Joe closes in on Sabrina, a decade-old regret surfaces, and he must decide if he's merely a "nostalgic tourist" or if he can forge genuine connections in the here and now. Can the archivist of lost memories become the architect of a new future?
