Synopsis
In this horror feature film, an awkward 13-year old girl named Cass wishes to get a first kiss on her birthday. But instead, she and her cooler best-friend Stacie play with a Ouija board — which delivers a shocking prediction: Stacie will soon die. That week, Stacie vanishes. Amidst wild rumors about Stacie's sexual history, Cass turns to the Ouija board for answers. Its cryptic clues lead her to a meeting with an older teen named "Nick". Thinking her birthday wish is about to come true, she climbs into his car and they drive into a part of town Cass calls the Quiet Streets. The ride, which starts out romantic, soon turns chilling as Cass begins questioning Nick’s identity. But nothing is as it appears to be — not even Stacie's disappearance. And now, to make it home alive, Cass will have to muster an inner strength she never knew she had. THE QUIET STREETS combines real archival material with elements of the surreal and supernatural, to illuminate what every true crime fan already knows: that the real world is more terrifying than a horror movie could ever be.
