Synopsis
Mara runs the graveyard shift at a maritime radio relay on a shrinking peninsula. When a storm knocks out the satellite link, the analog band starts carrying a voice she recognizes as her own — reporting on things that haven't happened yet. As the town's fishing fleet heads into the same storm the broadcasts describe, Mara has three days to decide whether to warn anyone, and whether the voice is trying to save them or replace her.
