The Static Veil

In a decaying rust-belt town where secrets cling like smoke, a family brings home a secondhand television that should have been forgotten. Late at night, its static hum carries more than reruns-images surface, fractured glimpses of things that should not be seen.

For Ethan Carrow, a quiet teenager already struggling to find his place, those flickers become impossible to ignore. They draw him into a shadow-world where the line between fate and choice blurs, where knowledge is as heavy as guilt, and where silence can be more dangerous than truth.

What begins as a mystery hidden in static grows into an obsession that reshapes Ethan's life, his family, and the fragile town around him. The deeper he stares, the more he realizes: once you start seeing, you can never look away.
