In the film, a young blind man named Carl lives in a remote cabin with his small-time hood brother Johnny. Carl leads a solitary life, reading Braille and listening to classical music. Every so often he treks into the woods where his fantasy world comes to life in the figure of bodybuilder/porn icon Jim Cassidy. Cassidy's otherworldly character restores Carl's sight during their encounters, and shows him warmth and love that he doesn't experience in the real world.
