John has been denied the sight of light for quite sometime. Ever since his mother died, he has only been able to see reflections and shadows of the light that surrounded the people around him. From that moment on, John was forced as the head of the house taking on two jobs and school to care for his family.

Would his life be destined for a change when his roommate at 221B gets on his nerves or will his father burn his still beating heart in his hands.
