Thirty years after a tragic accident shut down production of the classic children’s program Mister Magic, the five surviving cast members have done their best to move on. But just as generations of cultishly devoted fans still cling to the lessons they learned from the show, the cast, known as the Circle of Friends, have spent their lives searching for the happiness they felt while they were on it. The friendship. The feeling of belonging. And the protection of Mister Magic.
But with no surviving video of the show, no evidence of who directed or produced it, and no records of who—or what—the beloved host actually was, memories are all the former Circle of Friends has.

Dead Frequency is a psychological survival thriller set in New Braunfels, Texas—where the power dies, the animals go silent, and one analog voice keeps talking.
When the grid fails, a whispered sermon bleeds through an abandoned frequency. The words sound biblical. The intent is control. Caleb Rourke thinks it’s another blackout—until phones stay dead, cars won’t start, and neighbors begin repeating phrases they didn’t choose. With his niece, Mara, and a paranoid fixer next door, Caleb has to decide what to trust as the signal tightens its grip. Help isn’t coming. The closer you listen, the stronger it gets.
