Silence Becomes You

Synopsis

Grace and Violet, ethereal and eccentric sisters, live in the middle of nowhere, shadowed by the eerie phantoms of their younger selves. Brought up in isolation in an attempt by their father to incite heightened creative and telepathic abilities, the sisters are linked together in an almost supernatural way.

As a dare the two sisters bring a man into their dysfunctional home, a good-looking drifter named Luke, who has no idea what is in store for him: more of a trick than a treat. Slowly he is drawn further and further into a devastating ménage à trois. To Grace and Violet it is simply a game, but the game of chance has increasingly higher stakes as Violet breaks the rules and falls desperately in love, threatening the sisters' unity.

As Violet and Luke grow closer, the bonds that have tied the sisters together for so many years are slowly being torn apart and the pain of this betrayal drives Grace to despair. As she begins to lose her mind she creates a chain of events that endangers not only the experiment but also their lives.
