Adapted from the novel by It stars Mare Winningham playing Margaret Ryder the daughter of 2 deaf parents Abel (Ed Waterstreet) and Janice (Phyllis Frelich )Ryder who appears to be their ears for them, as it is not just making it difficult for her parents but it was also difficult for their only daughter as well as she is yearning to settle down.
