In his community, they have cube, steel shops and schools with pitch black underground houses. Jacob has never experienced light or darkness before, but soon that changes. One day at school, he starts to feel a “ searing” pain in his eyes and it is extremely painful. After a couple minutes the pain goes away but not for long. A couple of days later, the pain returns, but much worse. When the pain is gone he is able to see light out of his eyes. The light is just blurs at first but then it progresses, and he is soon able to see all colors and details as a “ normal” person would see them.

He learns what he has been missing and he loves it, but not everything is perfect. Jacob soon witnesses crimes going on and discovers that his parents aren’t who they say they are. After a while of living with sight, Jacob decides that he can’t keep the secret to himself anymore, so he comes up with a plan to tell his best friend, Egan.

Egan soon learns that Jacob can see and he is absolutely shocked and terrified at the same time. Egan unwillingly then tells his father, who is one of the officials in the community. His dad spreads the news and everyone in Jacob’s community learns that they now have an aberration living among them.

The officials, including Egan’s dad, know that they have to stop all of the commotion and decide that the best thing for the community would be to remove Jacob’s sight again and his memory of the past few weeks “ with eyes”. There is only one problem, Jacob loves his “ new eyes” and is heartbroken when he learns that they are about to be taken away from him. He then becomes determined to escape from the sightless community and runs away out into the open to keep the thing that he truly loves. Setting: The setting of the book is in many places.
