The town of Silent Hill is known to be a quiet resort town, but the
memories of a tragic fire seven years ago still haunts the town.
Having had his wife die of a disease four years ago, Harry is a
single parent with a seven year old daughter, Cheryl. Cheryl
begs her father to go on a vacation to the resort town of Silent
Hill and Harry gives in. Due to car troubles, they arrive in the
outskirts of Silent Hill at night, following the winding
mountainside road.
Speeding alongside Harry's Jeep comes a motorcycle cop, taking a
glance at him, with Harry looking back, and then heading off in
the distance. Shortly after, Harry spots a ditched motorcycle,
identical to the one that just past him earlier, but no one is
to be seen around it. Through the dark fog lurking in the air, a
shadow appears in the middle of the road in front of Harry's
Jeep. Reacting in panic, Harry quickly swerves out of the way
and off the road, resulting in a heavy accident with Harry
losing consciousness.
Waking up at the wheel of his wrecked Jeep some time after, it
is daytime and Cheryl is nowhere to be seen. The town is very
quite, like a ghost town, and is completely littered with fog.
The fog is so incredibly thick that Harry cannot see more than
ten feet in front of him, and it is snowing out of season.
Something is clearly wrong, but Harry heads off into the town to
find his daughter. |
