Ultrasonic pulses are coming from somewhere.  Although they’re presumed to be from outer space, no one really knows why or how they’re being generated. But when they become stronger and more frequent, the government urges everyone to seek shelter. Before Troy can make it home, a pulse hits that totally disrupts the whole world. When he comes to, he discovers everything has gone silent. He’s become deaf. And so is everyone else he comes across.

The power grid is down. The pulses have disrupted satellites, the internet, and cell phones. All communication is dark. It’s only a matter of time before every modern convenience is lost. Panic ensues. Looting, violence, and loss of sanity take over.

Troy goes on a mission to find his girlfriend and make sure she’s okay when he meets Clara along the way. He saves her life and offers to escort her back to her own home. She agrees, and he’s happy to have a companion in the new silent and dangerous world, if only for a while.

However, questions remain. Is Earth under alien attack? Will the pulses stop or become worse? No one knows, and Troy decides they have no choice but to get accustomed to this new normal. To a new world devoid of electricity, communication…and sound.

Despite what’s happened, sometimes tragedy also brings a new hope and promise for a future that otherwise would never have existed.
