Sight Unseen

SIGHT UNSEEN follows Tess Avery (Dolly Lewis), a top homicide detective who is forced to quit the job she loves after an accident in the field nearly results in her partner, Jake Campbell (Daniel Gillies, THE VAMPIRE DIARIES), being killed, leading to her ultimately being diagnosed as clinically blind. Haunted by the cases she left behind and reluctant to accept help, or even her own diagnosis, Tess turns to an assistance app to connect with a professional seeing-eye guide 3,000 miles away. An unorthodox partner in Tess’ ear, Sunny Patel (Agam Darshi, DMZ) guides her via a micro-camera, allowing Tess to pass as sighted. An agoraphobic who leaves her apartment only through the eyes of her clients, Sunny is also hiding a secret of her own – a violent event from her past she hopes to one day solve. Steering Tess through life’s obstacles and crimes, the duo challenge preconceptions about ability, trust, and where to draw the line. Inspired by one of the series co-creators’ experiences with sight loss, and produced in collaboration with sight-impaired advisors, Tess and Sunny bring a fresh perspective and unexpected thrills to the crime solving genre.
