THE MOUTHS OF BABES

THE MOUTHS OF BABES
By Daniel Doble

GENRE: Thriller, Horror
LOGLINE:

When a single mom hears her six-year-old son say, "How about you put that fat ass of yours back on the market and see if you can find me a daddy," she realizes someone-or something-is speaking through him... and he's not the only one.

SYNOPSIS:

When a sudden and unexplained sonic event causes children under seven to collapse in agony during a school assembly, single mother Jane Jacobs is thrown into a waking nightmare. Her six-year-old son, James, survives—but emerges silent and withdrawn. For two days, he doesn’t speak. Then, calmly and without warning, he delivers a razor-sharp insult no child should understand… and he’s not the only one.

As more children begin speaking with impossible clarity—exposing adult secrets, private shames, and buried traumas—Jane realizes something has shifted in her son. What follows is a psychological unraveling: friendships collapse, a group of children vanish, and a quiet rebellion spreads without violence—only truth.

As the world around her spirals and James becomes increasingly composed and unreadable, Jane is forced to confront what it means to raise a child who no longer reflects you—but judges you. Her survival may depend on a terrifying question: what if he’s right?
