Having left his family and escaped from the afflicted cities, Sam finds himself in a government laboratory, where a group of hardened scientists are conducting horrific tests, hoping to create non-lethal speech. The government enforces quarantine zones, and return to their daughter becomes impossible. As the contagion spreads, Sam and Claire must leave Esther behind in order to survive. Claire is already stricken and near death. But all Sam needs to do is look around the neighborhood: in the park, parents wither beneath the powerful screams of their children. Radio transmissions from strange sources indicate that people across the country are growing increasingly alarmed. Each word she speaks - whether cruel or kind, banal or loving - is toxic to Sam and Claire. Living quietly in the suburbs, Sam and Claire's lives are threatened when their daughter, Esther, is infected with the disease. At first it only affects Jews-then everyone. The speech of children has mutated into a virus which is killing their parents.
