Tagline
Bern's got an eye problem, Linds has a Bern problem.
Overview
Bern's got an eye problem and does not want to leave the house. Light hurts him, and so does life. So he calls upon his sister-in-law Linds, who's working through grad school as a waitress but is the closest thing to a doctor he's got. As the only frustrated family left in his life, she drags him onto the streets with a pillowcase over his head to face a "real" doctor and his own anxieties.
