Silentis

The universe doesn't smile on Payton Raynor. It smirks. Rather than choke on the splinters of hopes and dreams, he views suicide as a way to escape from his family's legacy. When learning the history class' end-of-year assignment, his plan to carry out a school shooting before turning the gun on himself derails. He struggles now to decide which, if any, of his teammates to take with him when he dies. Paced over the course of one thrilling night trapped inside a southern Victorian cemetery, SILENTIS is an atmospheric rollercoaster ride of intrigue, twists and turns, a secret vendetta, and an unexpected ending. It's not just the humidity ready to pounce, nor is it Payton. Under the glow of lamp post lights, the 1850s cemetery is like a foreign world to them-so different from the one existing under the sun. Silentis becomes the city of the not-so-silent. Five high school seniors enter, but only four will exit when the gates reopen.
