What if you’re the only person left alive?

When Adam wakes on a Monday morning, the house is cold and silent; his young family lie dead in their beds. There is no movement on the streets and no man-made noises to be heard. It seems all human life has ceased.

In a seaside town, a teenager’s diary records her struggle to come to terms with the catastrophe that has befallen her family.
Are these two alone in the whole country, confronting the unthinkable, that they are the only ones left alive?

Quiet World is a tale of tragedy and hope, loss and friendship and how, in the face of terrible adversity, we use resourcefulness, humour and compassion to sustain ourselves.
