Madison "Maddie" Young (Kate Siegel), a young deaf author who lost her hearing after a bout of bacterial meningitis at age 13, lives in an isolated house in the woods. Her friend and neighbor Sarah (Samantha Sloyan) visits her one day to return a copy of her book, and that night, is chased back to Maddie's house by a masked man (John Gallagher Jr.). Sarah bangs on the door for help, but Maddie can't hear her, and the man stabs her to death.
The man quickly realizes that Maddie is deaf and decides to make her another victim. He sneaks into the house, takes her phone, and begins taking photos of her and sending them to her laptop to make her aware of his presence. As Maddie realizes she's being stalked, she locks herself inside the house. The man cuts the power and sabotages her car. Maddie writes that she "won't tell, didn't see [his] face, boyfriend coming home" on the glass-paneled front door in lipstick. The man responds by taking off his mask and saying that she has seen his face now. He then taunts her by propping Sarah's body up against her bedroom window. Maddie tries to distract him with her car alarm so she can get Sarah's phone from her body, but fails to get it before he returns.
