Your character develops the idea that she can hear the voices of the dead on a certain radio channel. She decides to take advantage of this channel to find answers to some questions that are bothering her about her dead parents....
Your move, writer.
One direction leans quietly into grief: the static between stations becomes a place she visits like a grave, and the questions she asks her parents are less about facts and more about permission to move forward, the answers she hears shaped as much by longing as by anything supernatural. Another direction plays it as mystery, the voices offering fragments about how her parents really died, dropping clues that don't quite add up, pulling her into a search that makes her question who else might be listening in. A lighter, warmer angle treats the static as comic and tender at once, her parents bickering through the frequency exactly as they did at the dinner table, more interested in her love life than any grand revelation, love arriving disguised as nagging.
