Craig, a kitchen fitter, suffers permanent retinal damage after briefly viewing a solar eclipse, revealing a mysterious void in his vision. As the blind spot worsens, he discovers a disembodied hand emerging from the hole, triggering traumatic memories of his brother Dean’s disappearance during the 1999 eclipse. Medical scans confirm two concentric solar burns in his eye, one from 27 years ago, suggesting his brother’s presence is trapped within the injury. The episode explores themes of grief, denial, and the supernatural consequences of witnessing cosmic events.
