They Thought He Died 12 Years Ago. Then, His Eyes Moved.

A young boy was trapped in his own body during a 12 year coma, with a chilling twist— he was lucid for a portion of that time, unbeknownst to everyone around him. Martin's family became his caretakers, struggling with their own emotional turmoil and financial burden. In a harrowing moment, Martin's mother, wishes for her son's death— a plea he hears clearly, despite being thought of as unreachable by doctors.

The 'ghost boy' fought to communicate with the world through the only means he had—his eyes. And one children’s show was why he had to escape his prison. Let’s get into it.
