Trevor wakes up from another nightmare of Silent Hill just before getting a call that the police are after him following the apparent suicide of his wife, Caroline. He barely escapes with his lover Kathy and best friend Jay Nixon, the police force hot on their tail on the dark highway. During the pursuit, a mist covers the road and a strange man with a metallic object on his head causes them to crash on the outskirts of Silent Hill.
When Trevor awakens, he finds himself alone at the scene of the accident with no knowledge of where the others are. His search for them not only reveals that the town is haunted with terrifying creatures, but is also tainted with clues of Caroline’s presence. As his struggle through the misty town leads him closer to Kathy’s whereabouts, Trevor learns the truth of Caroline’s death. And with this knowledge, he discovers that everyone that had a part to play in her misery has been brought together to Silent Hill to account for their sins.
In the midst of the pain and the blood stands Caroline’s mysterious guardian with the metallic stained pyramid on his head… and he is ready to exact justice for their betrayal…

Trevor stirred his aching body, groaning as he attempted to open his eyes. He could feel a sticky fluid on his cheek and the side of his neck, and his body lay in an awkward position. He tried to move, but the pain just made him exhale quickly and remain still.
He finally managed to open his eyes. He was lying against the car door, his neck slightly bent against the head-rest of his seat. He was looking up at the passenger door and realised that the car was lying on its side. Running his fingers on his neck, he felt a pool of blood that had collected there.
He tried to move again and then noticed something shift on his belly. Seeing a golden band, he picked it up for closer inspection. He saw the links that were meant to hold charms and realised that it was Kathy’s charm bracelet. All of its charms were missing.
It dawned on him suddenly that Kathy was not in her seat. He jerked up, only to grimace in pain again and lay back down. Taking it more slowly, he moved until he could see over his seat into the back of the car. It was empty too.
Trevor looked out the windscreen to see if he could spot any movement, but all that he could see was mist. It seemed to have become much denser than before and he could hardly see passed the nose of the car.
Placing the charm band in his shirt pocket, he gathered his strength and courage and moved up towards the passenger door. It took him a few minutes, but he finally managed to extricate himself from the vehicle. He stood beside it on the road, squinting into the mist in an attempt to spot Kathy. His eye caught the police vehicle that had chased them in the opposite lane.
As he reached it, he peered in through the smashed side window. There was no one in there, nor any sign of where the officer had gone to. Trevor was about to step back when he spotted a police radio built into the dashboard. He reached his hand in and retrieved the receiver.
