Speak No Evil stars Mackenzie Davis and Scoot McNairy as Ben and Louise Dalton, a couple vacationing in Italy with their young daughter, Agnes (Alix West Lefler). The trip is relatively mundane and going as planned until the family is befriended by another family headed up by Paddy (James McAvoy) and his wife, Ciara (Aisling Franciosi) and their son, Ant (Dan Hough). Ant has a condition that prevents him from being able to speak. The families spend the rest of their vacation together and things seem pleasant enough.
After returning to their respective homes, the Dalton’s in London and Paddy’s family on a farm in the countryside, Ben and Louise are surprised with an invitation to spend a week in the country with their new friends. Struggling at home with Ben having lost his job and Louise battling the isolation of being in a new country with few friends and no other family around, the couple agree to accept the invitation. It’s a fateful decision as this trip is set to change everyone’s lives forever in ways they can’t begin to imagine.
