Bern's got an eye problem and does not want to leave the house. Light hurts him, and so does life. So he calls upon his sister-in-law Linds, who's working through grad school as a waitress but is the closest thing to a doctor he's got. As the only frustrated family left in his life, she drags him onto the streets with a pillowcase over his head to face a "real" doctor and his own anxieties.

When her abuser from a decade ago becomes a regular customer at her restaurant job, Alex turns to songwriting to own her truth at a local open mic. However, her anonymous bid for empowerment triggers a dangerous domino effect, culminating in a tense workplace confrontation where she must decide whether to blow his perfect new life wide open.
