One night in New Mexico, in the late 1950s at the dawn of the space-race, two radio-obsessed teens discover a strange frequency over the airwaves in what becomes the most important night of their lives and in the history of their small town.

Featuring a mood of mystery, with tone and style to spare, this “gets-under-your-skin” indie science-fiction harkens back to the days of genre radio dramas and when we we were even less sure what goes bump in the night.
