Young boy Lucas is obsessed with blindness following a series of vicious cut throat razor attacks on blind people by an unknown party. However, this all seems more related to Lucas' delusions than any reality.
The film presents something of an atypical thriller / horror story to the usual killer on the loose type of story in that it focusses pretty much exclusively on what the boy is seeing and feeling as the violence, real or not, increases. The difficulty here is that once it is clear where this is heading, which doesn't take long, the film makers devote far too much time to filming the boy wondering around deciding what he's to do next, liberally sprinkled with various 'clever' pieces of cinematic imagery. It's not enough, and whilst it is perfectly well acted and made and there are periods which are unsettling, ultimately it becomes rather dull, leading to a rather typical lacklustre climax.
