Blackeyes explores the inner workings of male-female relationships, showing how they perceive each other. The narrative is complex and multi-layered, featuring novelist Maurice James Kingsley who uses his niece Jessica's accounts about her life as a professional model. Kingsley's embellishments turn into a trashy bestseller titled "Sugar Bush," which follows the fictional fashion model Blackeyes' rise and fall at the hands of men. Angered and betrayed by her experiences, Jessica starts rewriting Kingsley's novel to set Blackeyes free from male abuse.
