On a trip back to her mother’s hometown, 12 y/o Lexi Bird follows hidden clues in Aster’s songs for a rare chance to meet her. But when the trail seems to turn cold, she fears Aster has vanished for good.
What happened to Aster?
Twelve-year-old superfan Lexi Bird knows what nobody else will admit: Aster, a world-famous pop star, is in trouble.
Aster has always hidden codes in her work—easter eggs in songs, symbols in videos, secret patterns only true fans catch. When she vanishes before a big concert, Lexi strings those fragments into something bigger, darker, and more dangerous than anyone expects.
Her family wants her safe. Aster’s team wants her quiet. But Lexi is convinced Aster left clues for fans like her—and if she doesn’t follow the tracks, no one will.
Radio Violence is a six-part fictional mystery where fandom is a matter of fatality. Each episode blends immersive audio drama with original songs containing clues. The deeper Lexi goes, the closer she gets to a truth that could silence her forever.
