Hannah is a devout Orthodox Jew, who observes the tenets and practices of her religion, including abstaining from electronics of almost any kind on the Sabbath.
She's also a modern woman who lives in Los Angeles, the most modernist of American cities. So when a certain device of hers won't turn off, she sets out to find someone who can turn it off without violating her religion -- a "shabbos goy" outside the faith who can perform certain types of work for Jews who can't partake on the Sabbath.
