A world-wide phenomenon renders most of the world’s population blind.  A 12-year-old boy must search for his parents through the remains of our society, meeting a variety of people along the way who deal with this upheaval in their own ways.  They include a man trying to organize salvation for others, a woman traveling with her son to find help, a man blind since birth, an old survivalist, and a recently blind woman who has gone insane.
