The Quiet

Welcome to Peril, Nebraska: small-town population, small-town energy, small-town through and through. It's got everything you need, including outcast bad boy, Zac Topper, who gets arrested weekly, fired for speaking his own mind, and accused of perpetuating every crime around. Or maybe its new, heart-of-gold waitress would interest you more. Not that many locals realize just how bright and sweet Miss Mariana Ruiz is.
Being the only mute they know, she tends to get shrugged off as inconsequential. But Zac sees her. And Mari sees him right back. So the two begin a heated affair despite all the odds stacked against them. Theirs isn't a simple happily ever after, though. If you listen closely enough, straining over the locusts lining the quiet, lazy streets and the distant trickle of the nearby river, you might just be able to detect the whisper of danger approaching.
That's their destiny you hear, and it's determined to keep them apart. So welcome to Peril. Enter at your own risk.
