Hear No Evil

Hear No Evil is a 2014 American thriller drama film written and directed by Russ Parr and starring Richard T. Jones, Jill Marie Jones, Jackie Long and Jahnee Wallace. Plot Shelby Carson is a deaf high school student. One day while playing lacrosse at school, Shelby is struck by lightning. That night, Shelby's little sister tells their mother that Shelby is behaving strangely. The whole family then comes into Shelby's room, where they learn that Shelby can hear and speak clearly. Sam, Shelby's father, asks Shelby who she is talking to, but before she can answer, Shelby's uncle, Jason, says "God," and Shelby confirms. She then tells her uncle to stop drinking and states that the sharp pains in his side are the beginning of cirrhosis of the liver. The next day, they take Shelby to the hospital to be examined. The doctor confirms that Shelby's hearing appears to be restored, but the medical cause is a mystery. While there, Shelby observes a nurse inform a man that he has acid reflux, which prompts Shelby to tell the man's wife that he actually has a clogged artery. The man and his wife bring up this suspicion to the doctors while Shelby is being examined, and the couple later tells Shelby and her family that the doctors believe she was likely correct. Shelby's mother expresses concern about Shelby's newfound habit of revealing information she should not be able to know. Despite her mother's hesitance, Shelby continues to make comments about the lives of others that are later proven true, and she gains significant media attention. Reporters and believers begin camping outside her house, causing her family distress. Meanwhile, Shelby's father, a lawyer, is working on a defense for a man whose family believes has been wrongly imprisoned for over a decade. Shelby's uncle has failed to visit this man, who was his close friend in high school, during this time, which Shelby's tutor chastises him for. Like Jason, Shelby's tutor was close to the accused man in high school. She now visits him regularly in prison, and she confronts Shelby's father about his perceived failure to live up to his promise of proving the man's innocence.
