The Story

Portland, Oregon. 1951. The city is wet, cold, and full of things people would rather not say out loud. A detective takes a case that should be simple. It isn't.

Ray Decker has tinnitus. A persistent ringing that won't go away. He can't explain it, can't make it stop, and can't shake the feeling that it's getting worse the deeper he gets into the case.

Dead Signal is a crime noir audio drama. Designed for headphones. The sound is the story.
