<P> Over three months in 2020 , most of Earth 's human population has been wiped out by sightless creatures with hypersensitive hearing and a seemingly impenetrable armored shell that attack anything that makes noise . The Abbott family -- husband Lee , wife Evelyn , congenitally deaf daughter Regan , and sons Marcus and Beau -- silently scavenge for supplies in a deserted town . While out in the open , the family communicates with American Sign Language . Four - year - old Beau is drawn to a battery - operated space shuttle toy , but his father takes it away . Regan returns the toy to Beau , who unbeknownst to her has also taken the batteries his father removed . Beau activates the shuttle when the family is walking home through the woods , near a bridge . Its noise makes him an instant target for a nearby creature , and he is swiftly killed . </P>
