Tony is a great kid in every aspect. Because of this, his parents are pretty controlling keeping him in isolation, refusing him to take off the helmet from his lit-up little head or to leave the house altogether. Other people find his lights strange, some even wish to harm him. In fact, they are mostly jealous - after years of living in darkness of an old house with an angry housekeeper they simply cannot comprehend his lights. Until one day, Shelley - the daughter of a former famous ballerina who hasn’t yet mentally left the stage behind - arrives to Tony's neighborhood.
