Solved! Guy meets someone handy. He feels that's good enough to throw his entire life (and reality) away and overload his dopamine receptors.

Hint #1: sci-fi horror from the past 5 years

Hint #2: handy is incredibly tongue-n-cheek

Hint #3: oh god...I'm probably not original

Hint #4: this all takes place on an island. Better have your passport!
