A thoughtful and gripping expose of the troubled teen industry, this supernatural thriller explores how a haunted past collides with a traumatised present to reveal truths that were meant to stay hidden.

Welcome to The Farm.

The Silenced delves into the mysterious workings of the troubled teen industry through a captivating narrative. The story follows Hazel Perez, who initially views her school project on the abandoned Oakwell Farms School for Girls—known simply as the Farm to locals—as just another assignment. Her perspective shifts dramatically after a late-night research trip concludes with her falling unconscious, only to awaken with a desire for revenge that isn’t her own.

Plagued by sudden violent urges and haunting visions of an unknown girl reflected in the mirror, Hazel becomes determined to uncover the truth. As she investigates Oakwell Farms' past, she unearths the harrowing experiences of the girls once forced to live under the supervision of sinister men and encounters the spirits still lingering there.

With the aid of unlikely allies, Hazel navigates a treacherous path filled with corruption, history, and the supernatural. Her journey is not only about bringing peace to the restless spirits but also uncovering the truth about her family's involvement in Oakwell Farms' dark history.
