The Fear of Silence

Hal Kapernaum brings his son to the company town of Seco, Arizona, where he hopes a new plant manager job will provide a fresh start, but the small Arizona town shares Hal’s same fear: SILENCE. The town is convinced the SILENCE is killing people. Nine have died in the last few weeks. Speakers of all models, shapes and sizes dot the roofs of the downtown buildings like nervous gargoyles. Because this fear is affecting production at the plant, Hal’s boss wants him to investigate and stop it, but soon Hal must face his biggest fear.
