Jodi is a fairly young somewhat confident woman aspiring to be a stand-up comic. She is struggling to make a name for herself in the male dominated comedy club circuit. One night during her set she notices Tom, an audience member with a distinct laugh.

​

After a brief interaction between them during her set Jodi chats to Tom and takes a selfie. By the time Jodi returns home to her girlfriend Chloe a string of notifications ring out on Jodi's social media from Tom.

​

Gradually it becomes clear that Tom is infatuated with Jodi. Tom becomes a near constant presence in Jodi's life as he stalks her online and in person. It is left to Jodi to do something about it before Tom goes too far.

The Connection is an exciting character led drama about the nature of fandom and obsession.
