Set against the gritty pulse of late-90s counterculture in Baton Rouge, Below the Signal follows four misfits employed by a company known as Harper-Kline Investigations. Founded in 1948, Harper-Kline officially hunts, archives, and eliminates supernatural dangers that poses a threat to humanity. Unofficially, however, the company recruits rejects, former criminals, and psychopathic misfits as a way to rehabilitate troubled minds. Take these losers, for example: ​Tessa Beauvais: A debt-ridden hoodoo practitioner more concerned with finances than the supernatural. ​Elias Nilssen: A desk-napping third-generation monster hunter who couldn't care less about the family business. ​Rafe: A contract-bound rogue whose unpredictability makes him dangerous to allies and enemies alike. ​Shailene Inoue: A bored oracle whose hunger for adrenaline led her to escape a conversion camp. Fortunately, under the eye of their supervisor, Dr. Lucien Briar, the quartet is assigned with appears to be a routine child-abduction investigation after it dominates national headlines. The strange detail: a missing mother of two was last seen obsessed with Mirthwood Hollow, a forgotten 1980s children's TV program filled with life lessons, quaint folklore, and unsettling symbolism. As the team investigates, the case grows stranger by the hour. Footage of Mirthwood Hollow is unstable as parents who watch it decades ago recall episodes no one else does. Symbols embedded in the show's set design match occult signatures Harper-Kline has long classified as extinct. Witness timelines warp, interviews contradict themselves, and the investigation begins to behave like a trap set decades earlier. With the Baton Rouge Police Department refusing to interfere further, the quartet must figure out who - or what - created Mirthwood Hollow, why the missing parents were targeted, and how a seemingly innocent TV show became a conduit for something that has finally resurfaced.
