Evelyn, however, finds out that a creature has found its way into the basement. Marcus is instructed by Lee to light some fireworks as a distraction, and he uses this chance to save Evelyn and puts her in the basement, before going out to look for the other children. This attracts a creature, but Evelyn manages to warn Lee and Marcus by turning on the red lights outside the house. In the meanwhile, Evelyn goes into labor and while heading to the soundproof basement, she steps on a nail and the jolt of pain causes her to knock down a picture, causing noise. Lee tries to save him, but the old man willingly screams and invites death. Their trip back home is eventful as they meet an old man whose wife has been killed by one of the creatures. Marcus, meanwhile, has a heart to heart chat with his dad, telling him that he should reach out to Regan and assuage her guilt. He explains that the creatures are drawn to the loudest sound, so in the presence of louder sounds, they are safe. We see some quality father-son bonding time, as Lee takes Marcus fishing. Lee tries to help Regan’s hearing with a new implant, but it does not seem to work. The story moves forth a year, with Regan blaming herself for Beau’s death and Evelyn pregnant with another child. The four-year-old Beau activates the toy while crossing a bridge, attracting one of the creatures, who kills him. But Regan gives the toy and the batteries to her brother, not knowing any better. Beau is drawn to a battery operated toy that Lee rejects since it would make noise. They scavenge for supplies and use the American Sign Language or ASL to communicate in the open so as not to make noise. We are introduced to the Abbott family, with husband and wife, Lee and Evelyn, Regan, the deaf daughter, and two sons Marcus and Beau. This causes them to attack anything that makes noise, and the species of the earth are defenseless against their indestructible armored skin. These creatures appeared from a meteor shower and though they are blind, they have a heightened sense of sound. ‘A Quiet Place’ starts in the year 2020, and is a post-apocalyptic tale where most of the world’s population has been wiped out by extraterrestrial creatures.
