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.
