After a brutal bear attack leaves him stranded, Ray Mercer fights to cross five days of wilderness and bleeding silence to reach safety. But the deeper he walks into the barren landscape, the quieter the world becomes, until even the sound of his own heartbeat disappears.
The silence isn't absence.
It's a presence.
And it's watching him.
As Ray presses forward, reality begins to slip. Landmarks vanish. His footprints erase behind him. The silence grows heavier, as if testing how much of him it can swallow.
To survive the wilderness, Ray must keep moving.
To survive the silence, he must hold on to himself.
Because out here, the most dangerous thing isn't the bear.
It's the quiet.
Dead Air is a slow-burn psychological survival thriller about isolation, silence, and the thin line between endurance and erasure.
