At a boarding school for the deaf, the paths of a teacher and three teenagers fatefully intersect. Charlie, the rebellious newcomer at River Valley School, struggles with her emotions and making herself understood, as she has had no prior contact with the deaf community. Austin is seen as a high achiever, but his world is shaken when his little sister is born hearing. Meanwhile, principal February Waters refuses to accept that her school must close – and that her marriage may be on the brink of collapse. When Charlie and Austin, along with another student, go missing from the boarding school, February finds herself in a race against time. This is a story about sign language and lip reading, first love and heartbreak, and above all, about great perseverance, courage, and zest for life. An unforgettable journey into the deaf community and a celebration of human connection.
