A husband and his wife, Sheila, go to Sheila’s dad’s house to help him clean up the growing mess. The old man’s wife, Sheila's mom, had died three years before, and since then the old man has let himself go. Sheila decides that it is best if her father is not in the house as they clean and so she sends her husband to go occupy her father. The husband, not really having a good relationship with his father-in-law, settles on taking him to an action movie for the afternoon. The father-in-law has a hearing problem and so at the movies the husband gets the old man an assisted hearing device so that he can better hear the movie. As the movie begins the husband sees that his father-in-law has drifted off and he decides to plug in his own headphones to listen in on the assisted hearing device. What he hears is a new world. He realizes that the listening device is actually for the blind and has an audio description of everything going on in the movie. The husband closes his eyes and listens — “seeing” the movie through the audio. He begins to enjoy the movie even more, though he begins to hear a slight distant sound of metal grinding on metal. He is unsure of what the sound is, but eventually begins to hear another audio description hidden beneath the main one and finds himself inside the thoughts of his father-in-law. He is unsure how it is happening, but as he listens he can “see” the old man using a can opener in his house, while the old man’s wife (the husband’s mother-in-law) is sick in the living room. He “watches” as the old man holds the can oddly in the automatic can opener, causing metal fragments to fall into the bowl of food he is preparing for the dying woman. The husband realizes that the old man may be doing this on purpose, as the mother-in-law died of internal hemorrhaging and ulcers.  The movie ends and the husband and the old man return to the old man’s apartment. They are met by Sheila and a spotless house. The husband goes into the kitchen and prepares some canned beets for the old man, holding the can to have metal shavings fall into the bowl. He gives the bowl to the old man, who eyes him with suspicion, but eats the beets nevertheless. The husband tells Sheila that he is excited to do this with the father-in-law more often.
