Have you ever noticed when you talk about something, suddenly an ad for it pops up on your cellphone? They say that these “smart phones” can think for themselves now. Does this one go too far? When “Gabby” starts intercepting messages on Diana Dorn’s phone, she comes close to a trade-in. But after a broken key and the broken engagement, Diana realizes that Gabby is smart enough to keep her one step ahead of the game. Diana loses a lover but lands the biggest break in her career.
