Kui valitsus kehtestab seaduse, et naised ei tohi päevas rääkida rohkem kui sada sõna, on dr Jean McClellan hämmingus. See ei saa nii olla. Mitte Ameerikas. Mitte temaga.
Kuid see on alles algus.
Peagi ei õpetata tüdrukuid koolis enam lugema ega kirjutama ja naistel keelatakse töötamine. Nad ei tohi kasutada oma häält, neil ei tohi olla oma arvamust ja vabadust. Kuidas teha end kuuldavaks ja muuta maailma, kui on luba lausuda vaid sada sõna ööpäevas?
Jean keeldub allumast kehtestatud korrale ja riskib kõigega, et nõuda oma hääl tagasi. Ta teeb seda enda, oma tütre ja kõigi vaigistatud naiste nimel.
