Beneath The Static

by T.J. Lea

How far would you go to keep a secret?

Everyone has them. Some are bigger than others. All of us wish to keep them private.

Especially the group of teenagers known as "The Sages", each with dark secrets locked deep within them.

Secrets that someone wishes to drag to the surface.

In 2010 in a port town known as Mantis Bay, a group of friends gather in the family basement of twins Tristan & Fay in order to react to shows in a bid to be a viral hit. It's through the digging of one friend, Mathias, that they locate a "hidden channel" that satisfies their curiosity, something to make them a hit.

That's how they found Beneath The Static... and its disturbing presenter JJ Watson.

What follows is a series of shows that begin to unravel the secrets of each group member and the dark incident they're hiding. The Sages must overcome emotional and physical trauma, past sins and nightmares to confront JJ Watson... but will they all have the strength to do so? Can they survive their secrets being dragged into the light?

Can they survive what lurks Beneath The Static?
