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 as 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… A remake of the Hong Kong film 
"Jian Gui", in which a woman receives an eye transplant that allows her to see into the supernatural 
world.
