Description

A young boy's body is found in his cell at the St. Aloysius Gonzaga Youth Home located in a small town in Texas in 1953. Dana Greer, private investigator under contract by the Catholic Church, is brought in to solve the case. While attempting to find the murderer, Dana realizes nothing is as it appears: the prison, run by a group of abusive Franciscan brothers, is a circus of horrors; the southern town of Punkerton is a cesspool of corruption and intolerance; and the Ku Klux Klan, lurking in the shadows, is eager to seek revenge even against the innocent.

SILENT BETRAYAL explores the effects of betrayal when people are not who they claim to be but, rather, hide behind masks of deception and lies. SILENT BETRAYAL revolves around a theme of good versus evil where no one is exempt from falling off a pedestal of grace into sin's darkness.
