A young boy [Ethan] has a passion for creating music. His life takes an unfortunate turn when he loses his hearing in a shooting. His friend [Sam] suffers from an addiction to alcohol, which makes supporting Ethan difficult when he needs to be there to help him through his loss of hearing. Whilst Ethan works out what to do with his life, a mysterious, slightly creepy girl [Hannah] messages him out of the blue. This short screenplay follows Ethan's story of accepting his blindness, and through the theme's of acceptance and friends shows that opening up to others is his only way forward.
