The premise

On the trail of a missing friend who had been experimenting with mind-altering drugs, a young journalist - aided by a rogue counter-culture writer, finds herself drawn into the dangerous world of top-secret government chemical research and the mystery of a disturbing radio signal of unknown origin.

Horror Vault's take

When a journalist begins digging into the disappearance of a friend who had been experimenting with a classified mind-altering substance, her investigation pulls her into the shadowy legacy of covert government drug programs. Teaming up with an eccentric, Hunter S. Thompson-esque writer, she follows a trail of cryptic radio transmissions toward something far more terrifying than bureaucratic secrets. Rooted in the real history of MK-Ultra, Banshee Chapter blurs the line between conspiracy thriller and cosmic horror until the two become indistinguishable.
