Thea Walker, a young girl raised by her abusive father after her mother's departure, finds herself alone on a highway until she is rescued by the stern cop Shane and his group. The catch? Thea keeps her deafness a secret, relying on lip-reading to communicate. Her world changes when she encounters the Dixon brothers and, mustering up courage, reveals her condition to them. A special bond forms with Merel, who helps her hone her archery skills. When Merel is left behind in Atlanta, Daryl steps in to care for Thea, being the only one she trusts. As their bond deepens, Thea learns to trust others in the group, who begin to learn sign language. Together, they navigate the challenges of survival, forming an unbreakable bond and becoming a family.
