Dead Air

The Day the Music Died

Narrado por: Kelly Orchard

What if the airwaves were hijacked… and silence was only the beginning?

When veteran broadcast engineer Mike Harris wakes up to reports that every FM radio station under High Point Media’s control has gone silent, he assumes it’s a technical failure—maybe even an April Fool’s prank. But when corporate headquarters and the FBI confirm that stations in five major U.S. cities have gone dark at the same time, Mike realizes something far more sinister is at play.

Then, the silence is broken.

A chilling, AI-generated voice takes over the frequencies, broadcasting cryptic messages of terror. As panic spreads and chaos grips the city, radio insiders scramble to regain control. But who is behind the attack? And what do they want?

Jackie Shure, a rising talk show host desperate to prove herself, must decide whether to follow corporate orders or risk everything to keep the public informed.

Roy Longly, the corporate executive obsessed with protecting the bottom line, races to contain the damage before the FCC or government forces take over.

Gunner Jeffries, the program director, uncovers clues that point to an even deeper conspiracy—one that could shift the balance of power, media, and trust forever.

With time running out, Mike is forced to make a life-altering decision—one that will determine the fate of the stations, the city, and his own future.

Inspired by real-world broadcasting, government power struggles, and the fragility of modern communication, Dead Air is a high-stakes psychological thriller that blends suspense, conspiracy, and media warfare.
