Synopsis:
Find a man’s treasure and you’ve found his heart. Veteran cabbie Cliff Edwards (Shoop) has nothing in his life except hunting for a legendary stash of Civil War gold. But when Henry (Brookshire), the blind grandson he never knew he had, is dropped on his doorstep, Cliff’s life drastically changes. Cliff doesn’t know the first thing about looking after a blind young boy, but Henry doesn’t care. He sees everything as a gift from God and is just happy to have a Grandpa. Cliff thought he was prepared to risk everything to find real treasure, but after meeting Henry, he's no longer sure he wants to pay the price. Treasure Blind is an inspiring story about the true treasure of family.
