Episode 17 "Sounds Like"
Directed by Brad Anderson,
written by Brad Anderson
from a short story by Mike O'Discoll
Larry Pearce is a dour office worker in a phone
answering company who is having problems getting
over the recent death of his young son from a rare
brain disorder. Larry's grief has somehow
triggered his acute sense of hearing 20-fold
which he can hear a whispered conversation from
hundreds of feet away.
But his ability soon affects his sanity as he
learns he cannot control it and all efforts to
block out sound are futile, which puts a strain
on his long-suffering wife Brenda, who unlike him,
cannot stand quiet. As as result, Larry's slow
slide into insanity because of his gift/curse of
sensitive hearing and inability to deal with the
grief of the loss of his son, leads to more
tragedy for all involved.
