IT’S 1985. THE HIGH SCORE IS JUST THE BEGINNING.


In the sleepy town of Red Hook, New York, the biggest worries are keeping your mixtapes from tangling and staying out of Principal Thorne’s office. But for Kenny “Kicks” Kaplan, everything changes the night he beats Nexus X, a mysterious arcade cabinet tucked away in the back of a dusty video store.The game doesn't give him a free play. It gives him coordinates.

Alongside Jason "J-Bird" Brenner, an aspiring journalist with a nose for suppressed history, and Jenna “The Switch” Reyes, a punk-rock tech prodigy who can hotwire anything with a pulse, Kenny follows the trail into the dark heart of the Hudson Valley. What they find is a conspiracy that defies physics: an abandoned power station humming with impossible energy, redacted files from a 1957 blackout, and a silent, visor-clad hunter known only as Agent X who is tracking their every move.

At the center of the mystery is "Radio" Ray Sullivan, an eccentric hermit whose HAM radio isn't just picking up static. It’s picking up echoes from a future that’s trying to rewrite the past. As the countdown to a town-wide "Synchronization" begins, the three outcasts must decode a secret hidden in the frequencies of their own lives before Agent X erases them from existence.

In his debut novel, YouTube and podcast host BC Loner takes you on a neon-soaked, high-voltage thrill ride that captures the heart and hum of the 80's.
