Vance takes a story from the "1001 Nights--" a collection of stories with Indian, Persian, and Arabic influences, and modernizes it into an alternative superhero movie! "The Blind Beggar" is a cautionary tale about a Rich Man's avarice, and Vance's modernization explores a young superhero's relationship with power. The Rich Man becomes Rachel: a sixteen year old girl who is selected as the recipient of powers passed down through a monastic order. Just as the Rich Man's greed consumes him, Rachel's lust for power consumes her. Will she be able to take control of her powers and save the world? Will the evil Timeless One bring about the end of the world in its effort to absorb the experience and time of all humankind?
