Silent Cries

A group of six childhood friends reunites after years of drifting apart following the mysterious disappearance of one of their closest friends, Michaela. Now in their mid-20s, they're all leading very different lives, but unresolved questions about Michaela's disappearance and the trauma that left behind haunt them. When they come together to honor Michaela's memory, strange clues begin surfacing, hinting that she might still be alive-or that someone in their group knows more than they've let on.

Characters:

1. Ryan - Michaela's best friend, known for being the protector. He carries guilt over Michaela's disappearance, as he was the last one to see her that night. Since then, he's become a detective, secretly trying to solve the mystery.
2. Dre - The "streetwise" one who's been in and out of trouble. He and Michaela had a close, complicated relationship, and he still struggles with the loss. His loyalty to the group is unquestionable, but he hides secrets that might have ties to the night she disappeared.
3. Ava - The soft-spoken friend who was closest to Michaela. Ava now runs a nonprofit, but her quiet life is upturned as the reunion forces her to confront painful memories she tried to forget.
4. Jamal - The funny, easygoing one, who has distanced himself the most from the group. He's now a successful business owner but feels conflicted about revisiting the past, especially as he harbors suspicions about one of the friends.
5. Tiana - The bold and outspoken friend. She's loyal to a fault, and as things start unraveling, she takes it upon herself to protect everyone-even if that means keeping them in the dark.
6. Jay - The quiet, intellectual friend who always kept a close eye on Michaela. Now, he's struggling with guilt and is haunted by visions of her. He's been secretly investigating her disappearance in his own way, and he believes she's been sending him messages.
