Silence of the Dead
After a young girl, Zena, turns up dead, Detective Jackson discovers she recently fled from a mysterious cult in fear for her life. But the physical and psychological walls around the anti-technology group derail his investigation.
Meanwhile, pressure builds as a ruthless criminal takes aim at police officers, and the whole department frantically searches for the cop killer.
Needing more help with his case, Jackson recruits Agent Dallas to go undercover. She infiltrates the secluded cult and soon discovers a bizarre form of abuse. To bring down the egomaniacal leader, Dallas takes a risk that puts her life in danger.
Jackson’s concern for the cult members also reaches the point of alarm. Determined to find out what really happened to Zena, he pushes the boundaries to break through the gate. But is he in time to save everyone?
