Such Quiet Girls

One Hijacked Bus. Ten Frightened Children. A Deadly Race Against the Clock.

Jessa, new driver of school bus 315, is desperate for her first week to go smoothly, or her lies on the job application might get uncovered. Meanwhile, twelve-year-old Sage is itching to get home after another exhausting day of watching over her little sister, Bonnie, at her mum's request. But disaster strikes when their bus is hijacked in broad daylight. And for Jessa, Sage and the rest of the nine innocent souls onboard, the nightmare is only just beginning...

Buried Alive

Trapped inside a shipping container buried twenty feet underground, the hijackers promise they'll all be freed once a ransom is paid. But Jessa and Sage aren't sure they'll last that long. It's dark and cramped, the younger kids are panicking, and with each passing minute, it's becoming harder to breathe.

Survival or Death

With time - and air - running thin, can they team up to outsmart their captors? Or are they doomed to an unthinkable fate?
