In a post-apocalyptic world overrun by monstrous creatures that hunt by sound, the Abbott family must live in complete silence to survive. Lee and Evelyn Abbott, along with their children, communicate through sign language and have built a life centered on avoiding even the slightest noise. Tragedy strikes when one of their children is killed after making a sound, leaving the family haunted by grief but determined to keep each other safe. As Evelyn prepares to give birth, the danger intensifies—raising the nearly impossible challenge of protecting a crying newborn in a world where silence means survival. When the creatures inevitably draw near, the Abbotts are forced to fight back, relying on their courage, love, and resourcefulness to endure. The film blends heart-pounding suspense with deep emotional stakes, making it both a horror thriller and a powerful story about family sacrifice.
