Rating: PG

Cast: Jesscia Alba
Runtime: 95 min
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.
