Thriller

Quiet Exit

A tense, suspense-driven story of flight, fear, and survival in the isolated roads of Stillwater.

After a bank robbery in Milford goes awry, the fleeing robber takes a teller hostage to secure their escape. The pair find themselves holed up in a remote hotel in the heart of Stillwater, far from the prying eyes of law enforcement or witnesses. As hours stretch into a precarious night, trust, fear, and desperation collide. Each decision carries weight, and the quiet isolation amplifies tension, testing the limits of both captor and hostage. In this remote corner of the frontier, survival demands more than cunning—it demands understanding the fragile dynamics of human behavior under pressure.
