Overall
Julia and her twin sister Sara share a degenerative eye disease that is slowly stealing their sight. When Sara is found hanged in the basement of her home, the police rule it suicide. Julia knows her sister and doesn't believe it. She begins to investigate on her own, even as her own vision continues to deteriorate — episodes of blindness coming and going, the darkness encroaching.
Julia discovers that Sara had a companion in her final months — a man who helped her navigate the world without sight. But no one can describe him. Witnesses who spent time around him cannot picture his face, cannot say what he looked like. He is a man who has made himself invisible, who has learned to occupy the blind spots of everyone around him.
Julia's condition worsens. She undergoes treatment that leaves her temporarily sightless — bandaged, dependent, vulnerable. The man she is looking for knows exactly how to be near someone who cannot see him.
The investigation closes in on the truth: a killer who fixates on blind women, who positions himself as indispensable and then disappears into the gap between what people notice and what they don't. The confrontation comes in the dark, on his terms and hers.
