The Moment of Silence is the story of Peter Wright—a fairly simple everyman with a moderately dreary and lonely life, living in a futuristic version of New York City. Peter lives on the 23rd floor of a downtown apartment complex, working as a communications designer. One day Peter watches through his cracked door as a very mean-looking SWAT team breaks into his neighbor's apartment and violently drags off the man of the home—as his wife and child helplessly protest. Peter is haunted by what he's seen, and the story takes off from there. This sequence takes place in one of the most effective and riveting opening cutscenes I have seen in a very long time.
