​In the lingo of stage magicians, illusionists, and mentalists, a shut eye is a performer who becomes so adept at the illusion of mind reading that the performer comes to believe that he or she actually possesses psychic powers.

​

Renowned magician Charles Palmer dies, leaving behind a son, a theatre and numerous secrets. Kevin ventures to relaunch the family business, but not as an entertainer. The son's talent lies in communicating with the dead.

A psychic, a nosy lighting technician and the persistent spirit of a man who died in Palmers' theatre more than a century ago join forces in a series of performances that entrance the public. In addition, the lucky spectators end up as protagonists in the peculiar shows.
