See for Me

Sophie Scott’s dreams of competing in the Olympics come crashing down when she is diagnosed with retinitis pigmentosa, a relentless degenerative eye disease that threatens to rob her of her sight. In her time of need, her friend Cam steps in to support her as a guiding light in the uncharted territory of adaptive sports. However, Sophie finds it difficult to embrace this new reality and subsequently decides to abandon her skiing aspirations. To make ends meet, she resorts to cat-sitting for affluent homeowners. Alongside Cam, she exploits their trust by stealing their expensive wine collections.

This morally ambiguous lifestyle becomes even more complicated when Sophie crosses paths with Debra, a recently divorced socialite in need of a reliable cat sitter for her lavish estate in upstate New York. Upon entering Debra’s opulent world, Sophie encounters the revolutionary phone app See For Me, which connects blind users with sighted volunteers via video call. In a twist of fate, she meets Kelly, a talented gamer from Florida, who becomes her unexpected ally in navigating the world around her.

Just as Sophie begins to settle into this newfound support, her life takes a perilous turn. One night, while drifting off to sleep, three cunning intruders break into the estate. In a desperate bid for safety, Sophie dials 911, only to discover that help will be delayed due to the house’s isolation. Resolute and undeterred, she turns back to See For Me, re-establishing contact with Kelly in a race against time. However, the masked intruders swiftly cut off the video call, casting doubt on Sophie’s fate.

While the burglars plot their next move, Kelly refuses to give up hope for Sophie. Utilizing her gaming prowess, she traces the emergency call to locate Sophie amidst the chaos. As tension mounts, Sophie finds herself face-to-face with the intruders, who stumble upon a hidden treasure—a $7 million stash concealed within the walls. As the would-be thieves debate their next steps, they learn that Sophie has already signaled for help.

Despite their initial intentions, the burglars consult their enigmatic leader, Rico, who instructs them to spare Sophie, believing her blindness renders her an insignificant witness. In a twist of fate, Sophie chooses to negotiate with the intruders, proposing to aid their escape in exchange for a share of their newfound fortune. As the atmosphere thickens with intrigue, she places another call to 911, only to be reminded that the police must respond, even to false alarms.

In this precarious situation, Sophie’s ingenuity and inner strength are put to the ultimate test, as she maneuvers through a landscape filled with deception, desperation, and newfound bravery. When the deputy finally arrives, Sophie quickly spins a story, downplaying the situation. But just as the officer prepares to leave, a frantic alert from Kelly cuts through the tension, prompting the deputy to call for backup and confront the intruders. Sadly, the situation escalates, leading to a tragic encounter between the deputy and one of the robbers.

Seizing the moment, Sophie acquires the fallen deputy’s firearm, and with Kelly guiding her, she bravely confronts the assailants. One by one, she takes down her attackers with precision shots as the last remaining burglar attempts to open a safe filled with loot. However, as tension mounts and the police are anticipated, Sophie’s phone battery dwindles, severing her link to Kelly. Yet, resolute, she manages to defeat the remaining intruder just as he reaches for the deceased officer’s taser.

In the aftermath of this thrilling ordeal, Sophie’s resilience shines through, particularly as she encounters Rico, revealed to be Debra’s estranged ex-husband, who mooted the robbery to reclaim his possessions. Despite his attempts to persuade her to relinquish the stolen fortune, Sophie stands firm in her convictions. She decides to plunge the estate into darkness, luring Rico into a deadly game of cat and mouse. Unfortunately, as she fights for her survival, Rico manages to overpower her in a brutal showdown.

Eventually, Sophie finds herself recovering in the hospital. In a moment of vulnerability, she shares her renewed commitment to pursue her dreams of skiing at the Paralympics with her mother. Realizing they need funds for new gear, Sophie smartly clutches her backpack, suggesting she may have already liberated some of the hidden treasure. Shortly after, she sets up a video call with Kelly, excitedly sharing updates on her progress as Cam stands by her side as a steadfast guide.
