Tackling themes of codependence, self-love, and loneliness in the digital age, SWIPE MONSTER follows the misadventures of Courtney Whitlock on her quest to find love.
Like many single people searching for "that special someone" in today's digital world, Courtney is an emotional gambling addict and the dating apps are the slot machine she can’t stop cranking. She's been told a million times that there’s “plenty of fish in the sea” but she’s finding the amount of fish to be overwhelming and it’s still pretty hard to hook one that isn’t covered in nuclear waste.
While Courtney's neuroses, anxieties and lack of self esteem make her a bit of a mess, we all can empathize with our hero; she’s the ugliness, fear and codependency we all carry with us deep inside. She just wears it on the the sleeve of whatever outfit she picked out to go on her date.
