Whenever people speculate what kind of superpower they might like to have, invisibility is always brought up as a point of discussion. If You Could See the Sun would proffer that this is not a good choice, at least as it is depicted here. Fresh on the revelation that her parents can no longer afford her elite boarding school, she plunges into an unexpected bout of invisibility, prefaced only by an intense feeling of coldness. She can't predict it. She can't control it. But she can monetize it. With the help of her academic rival, with whom she bitterly shares the school's Top Achiever award, they create an app to uncover secrets and carry out clandestine tasks in exchange for huge sums of cash. But as the tasks become increasingly more complicated, ethically questionable, and legally fraught, Alice must decide whether her conscience is worth the price of tuition.
