Overview[]
In a post-apocalyptic world, Malorie Hayes advises two young, unnamed children that they will be going down a river in a rowboat. She sternly instructs them to not remove their blindfolds or they will die.
Five years earlier, a pregnant Malorie is visited by her sister, Jessica. There is a news report on TV about unexplained mass suicides quickly spreading across Europe. While at the hospital for a routine checkup, Malorie witnesses a woman hurting herself before others begin to panic and chaos erupts. Jessica sees the entity, causing her to deliberately crash her car erratically before killing herself by walking in front of an oncoming truck.
As Malorie flees on foot, a woman invites her into a house for safety. The woman then sees the entity before going into a trance and then sitting inside a burning car, which explodes. A passerby, Tom, picks up Malorie from the street, and they are let into the house, where about a dozen other people are taking shelter. One is a man employed by a grocery store, who theorizes that demonic entities have invaded Earth, driving people insane. They in the house cover all the windows and blindfold themselves whenever they go out. The house's owner offers to monitor the surveillance cameras to watch the entities indirectly, but he kills himself while watching.
A new pregnant survivor, Olympia, arrives, and half of the group go to a nearby supermarket due to the diminishing food supply. Malorie gets some pet birds along with their supplies, and the presence of the entities causes the birds to go into hysterics. The group is attacked by a co-worker of Charlie's, but Charlie sacrifices himself to save the others, who make it back to the house.
Sometime after, Felix and Lucy steal the car and drive away. Olympia lets Gary, a stranger, into the house, against Douglas' wishes. Threatening Gary with a shotgun, Douglas is knocked out and locked in the garage. As Olympia and Malorie go into labor simultaneously, Gary works on various drawings of the entities and undergoes some form of trance before exposing Douglas to the entities and knocking out Tom. Gary then proceeds upstairs and uncovers all the windows in the room. Olympia fails to look away in time and jumps out the window, killing herself. Malorie hides with both of the newborn babies under a cover, while Gary then forces Cheryl to look at the entities, causing her to stab herself in the neck with a pair of scissors. Douglas blindly attempts to kill Gary with a shotgun, but Gary kills him with a pair of scissors. As Malorie protects the newborns, Tom recovers consciousness in time to overpower and kill Gary.
Five years later, Tom and Malorie are living together with the children, who are called "Boy" and "Girl". They receive a transmission from a survivor telling them about a safe community hidden in the forest. As they leave their house, they are ambushed by a group of the unblindfolded survivors, and Tom runs to distract them so Malorie and the children can flee. Tom then uncovers his eyes in order to shoot them all, but he is then infected by the entities.
Malorie and the children make their way blindfolded down the river on a boat, carrying the birds to have a warning against the entities. The boat flips in the rapids, but they manage to find each other. All three are soon separated again when Malorie accidentally slides down a hill, and the entities attempt to trick the children into removing their blindfolds using Malorie's voice. Malorie regains consciousness, telling the children where to find her.
They eventually reach the community, a former school for the blind. Malorie releases the birds and finally gives the children names, Tom and Olympia, acknowledging herself to be their mother.
