Synopsis: A groundbreaking new technology offers hope to the deaf: the ability to hear sounds once again. Four young individuals, chosen to be part of this revolutionary step, eagerly await the moment they will finally hear the voices of their loved ones—voices they have been recording for years. But just days before the official launch, they are quietly removed from the project. No explanation is given; their dreams are taken from them.
Refusing to remain silent, the group devises a risky plan to gain access to the devices. But when they finally put on the technology and press play on their recorders, what they hear is far from what they imagined.
