Static Lullaby

The world is hushed. Five years after the Crimson Fever stole humanity's voice, not through death, but an eerie, enforced silence, cities stand as hollowed shells.  The Global Health Coalition (GHC), once hailed as saviors, now rule with an iron fist, their sterile drones the only witnesses to a soundless world.  Touch, once intimate, is now forbidden.  In this suffocating quiet, a spark of rebellion ignites.
Lys Vega, a former underground music icon, haunts a forgotten subway station, transforming it into the clandestine hub of Silent City Radio.  Her voice, once filling clubs with pulsating rhythms, now carries the raw symphony of resistance. Each broadcast—a dangerous cocktail of forbidden news, unfiltered emotion, and banned music—is a direct challenge to the GHC.  In darkened apartments, her listeners, a hidden community forged in desperation, cling to her every word, a beacon in the oppressive silence.
The GHC, terrified of sound’s subversive power, unleashes the Silencers, elite enforcers clad in sound-dampening suits, ghosts in the silent city.  Hunted, Lys's broadcasts become a lifeline, weaving whispered accounts of GHC brutalities and a deeper, more sinister conspiracy.
Driven to uncover the truth, Lys seeks her estranged brother, Javier Hanna, a disillusioned ex-GHC cyber-security specialist. Haunted by secrets and his complicity, Javier resists, until the memory of their shared past, filled with music and laughter, compels him to join her.  His technical brilliance becomes her shield in the digital darkness.
Their journey is a harrowing dance between shadow and light, every whispered word a risk.  They forge alliances with Nicole Barnes, a disgraced GHC scientist haunted by past atrocities, and Jonathan Gregory, a drone operator disgusted by the GHC’s surveillance.  Together, they unravel the truth: the Crimson Fever isn't natural, but engineered—a tool of control, not quarantine.
As the truth spreads, so does the danger. The GHC tightens its grip, the Silencers become relentless, and a devastating betrayal shatters their sanctuary.  Facing capture, Lys makes a daring choice: she'll use the GHC’s own network against them, her final broadcast a defiant roar echoing through the silent city, exposing their lies to all.
Lys’s act of rebellion ignites a wave of defiance.
