Plot Synopsis

Jackson is a successful Atlanta attorney engaged to his boss, Marina, the intelligent partner of her law firm, and he seems to have it all -- until his long-lost childhood friends unexpectedly reappear after 25 years. They spent their boyhood summers in the small town of Dalton, Texas, swimming in the quarry, shooting bottle rockets and doing everything they could to mine the fun out of small-town life. But their idyllic world turned chaotic one fateful summer afternoon when a well-intentioned and heroic attempt to save their friend Jessie from her alcoholic mother ultimately cost the 13-year-old boys nine months at Quitman Youth Detention Facility where their lives were changed forever. When the nightmare of their time in prison resurfaces, uprooting a dark secret they thought they had buried, the brotherhood bands together to right the wrongs of their shared past -- a journey that will push the limits of their loyalty and quench their thirst for revenge. Besides Jackson, the three other childhood friends entangled in the conspiracy are: Gil, who carries out petty crimes; Shawn, the peacemaker of the group, who hangs out with Gil; and Boots. Ray is a 65-year-old corrupt and self-serving politician, who is about to embark on a campaign for Congress -- but he has a hidden past. When he was the Warden at the boys prison, he allowed boys to be exploited for forced labor outside the prison and also for sordid sex parties at his house. His right-hand man Terry, who does a lot of his dirty work, was at the boys prison camp years ago. NBC debuted GAME OF SILENCE with a special two-night premiere, first on Tuesday, April 12, 2016 at 10pm ET/PT and then two days later, with the show settling into its regular timeslot: Thursdays at 10pm.
