The signal came at 3:13 AM. Leo Vance was just another insomniac teenager in a dying town-until the broadcast hijacked his screen. Now the people of Blackwood are changing. They move in perfect synchronization. They speak in one voice. They call it an upgrade. Leo calls it an invasion. A future intelligence has found a way to overwrite human consciousness-using the town's power grid, its airwaves, its screens.
And Leo is the only one the signal can't control. Hunted by his own parents. Tracked by chrome-plated enforcers. Haunted by a version of himself from the future. With a rogue girl who exists between code and flesh, Leo must fight his way to the source-the Water Tower pulsing at the heart of the storm-and crash the system before humanity is permanently deleted. But there's one terrifying possibility he can't escape:What if this world was never real to begin with?DEAD CHANNEL is a high-concept sci-fi horror thriller about identity, memory, and the cost of becoming perfect.
