CGiii Comment

“The Symphony Of Silence” tells the story of 17 year-old writer Zach who struggles to survive in the 'dog eat dog' world of high school where he is tormented by bullies. There is no chance of finding comfort at home as one of the bullies happens to be his 18 year-old brother, Sean. In order to escape his bullies at school, he resorts to hiding in the restroom during his lunch breaks.

In order to escape his brother at home, he retreats to writing. A bullying incident involving another student at school sets into motion a confrontation between Zach and the bullies that is nothing short of devastating. For every action has a reaction.
