A grim test of endurance, Game of Silence wants to do honorably by its subject matter while also luring you in with lurid shocks. Beginning Tuesday on NBC, Silence is about friends who share a common trauma: As young boys, they spent nine months in a juvenile detention center where helpless youths were routinely beaten and sexually abused. Jackson Brooks (Revolution’s David Lyons) may be a successful lawyer on the verge of marrying his attorney-sweetheart, but his happy future is brought to a halt when four childhood friends re-enter his life.
