Sami, a deaf woman, survives alone in a suburban wasteland stalked by a terrifying presence beneath high-tension power lines. Her only warning of its approach is a faint hum detected by her cochlear implant. Clinging to the hope that her missing family will return, she refuses to leave her fortified home, even as the military prepares to destroy the entire area. When two mysterious intruders arrive claiming they can destroy the creature using a bomb “fueled by Hell,” Sami’s world begins to unravel. Childhood trauma resurfaces, memories shift, and her grip on reality weakens. In a climactic confrontation, Sami deploys the bomb and wakes in a hospital to a reunion with her long-lost family. But as buried truths surface, she realizes the reunion isn’t real.

In this dark comedy, a deaf housewife gets rid of her abusive husband and seeks the Highlife by becoming a hired assassin.
