Locked in a frightening, lonely world of silence and darkness since infancy, 7-year old Helen Keller has never seen the sky heard her mother's voice or expressed her innermost feelings. Then Annie Sullivan, a 20-year old teacher from Boston arrives. Annie reaches out to Helen through the power of touch - the only tool they have in common - and leads her bold pupil on a miraculous journey from fear and isolation to happiness and light.
