"every little key unlocks the door, every little secret has a lie" "try to take a picture of the sun, but it won't help you to see the light" -- IN WHICH sunset video is dying, the air conditioning barely works, and the employees are one late fee away from killing each other. then a hidden message appears on an old VHS tape. the recording comes from elias crowe, a local public-access tv host who vanished live on television nearly ten years ago. as more tapes begin surfacing around town, a group of video store employees find themselves pulled into a mystery involving abandoned theatres, buried secrets, strange broadcasts, and a disappearance the town was never supposed to revisit. between closing shifts, skateboarding in the beach, parking lot arguments, and increasingly terrible investigation methods, the staff of sunset video may finally uncover what really happened the summer of his disappearance. © -redvines- summer of 2026 open [] closed [☀️]
