When a power cut in the holiday cottage catches her while on the phone to Finn, the voice behind VISUAL-EYEZ (an app for low vision users), Steph finds herself in a crisis that forces her to re-evaluate how capable she really is.

Claudine Toutoungi's sharply observed, real-time comedy drama about skewed perspectives, mixed signals and significant others.
