Jason Forrester, a middle-aged TechShack owner and lifelong tinkerer, is days away from closing his store for good. As he inventories old gadgets and fends off corporate shutdown notices, he begins detecting strange radio signals through his HAM setup, messages encoded in Morse, 80s TV themes, and modem screeches. He teams up with Jennifer, a conspiracy podcast host, and Chad, a sarcastic teenage tech whiz, to decode the signal.The signal leads to revelations hidden in Jason's garage, once his father's domain, suggesting something alien or extradimensional is trying to make contact, possibly through old tech. As they investigate, they're tailed by mysterious government agents and watched by strangers buying up vintage components.
The trio eventually activates a portal using a makeshift machine assembled from Jason's father's prototype and nostalgic relics. They drive Jason's MR2 through the rift and enter a surreal alternate world made of obsolete tech, a digital afterlife of forgotten electronics. There, Jason learns the world is failing, and only someone who understands analog tech and forgotten codes can fix it.
