Available Official Website: Not Available Plot Summary: Sydney Wells (Jessica Alba) is an accomplished,
independent, Los Angeles-based concert violinist. She is also blind, and has been so since a childhood tragedy. As our story
opens, Sydney
undergoes a double corneal transplant, a surgery she has waited her whole life to have, and her sight is restored. After the
surgery, neural ophthalmologist Dr. Paul Faulkner (Alessandro Nivola) helps Sydney with the
difficult adjustment, and with the support of her older sister Helen (Parker Posey), Sydney
learns to see again.
But Sydney's happiness is short-lived
as unexplainable shadowy and frightening images start to haunt her. Are they a passing aftermath of her surgery, Sydney's mind adjusting to sight, a product of her imagination, or something
horrifyingly real? As Sydney's family and friends begin to doubt her sanity, Sydney is soon convinced that her anonymous eye donor has somehow opened the door to a terrifying
world only she can now see.
