Synopsis:
The year is 2013. There has recently been a huge satellite war and all modern communications have been disrupted. In America, the Department of Defense has taken back most of the internet, reducing it to a unusable trickle of information.
Most of the general public who were dependent upon technology are detached and lost. Urban society has returned to a DIY fix it culture.
One bright spot is the resurgence of lawless community based pirate radio. These covert broadcasts are unseen but heard intermittently.
A leader in the movement is Lenox and his faithful driver Stu who broadcast from a roving car with an odd looking antenna on the roof. They circle certain neighborhoods in Brooklyn reading dedications, playing uplifting music, and passing along pertinent information to the public. They will sometimes drive the neighborhood circuit for days at a time, or until the energy in the car runs down.
Along the way they stop and do “on the spot” interviews with people they know and some they don’t know which are broadcast locally live. They have a growing audience as they have been doing this consistently for a few months now.
