The story takes place in New Mexico in the 1950s. A young switchboard operator and radio DJ discovered a strange frequency that might change their lives, their small town, and the entire planet forever. "The Promise of Night" fell into the rabbit hole of "Twilight", through dropped phones, AM radio signals, secret tape reels forgotten in the library, exchanges, crossed patch cords, and an anonymous phone. He carefully weaves a search-seeking story of missing people together. "The Promise of the Night" takes the audience into an era and a small town far away from the outside world through confusing tracking shots, quick dialogues and perfect era terminology. Its mystery is only presented to those who are curious and patient enough to listen.

Mabel Blanche: I think at the lowest level, they send people on errands, and play with people's minds. They sway people to do things, and think certain ways - so that we stay in conflict, focused on ourself - so that we're always .. cleaning house, or losing weight, or dressing up for other people. I think they get inside our heads and make us do destructive things, like drink and over eat. I've seen good people go bad, and smart people go mad.
Mabel Blanche: I think at the highest level they do things that cause nations to go to war. Things that make no sense. And I think no one knows they're being affected. We all work out other reasons to justify our actions. But free will is impossible with them up there. I've had an entire life to think about this. Years alone. And that's what I think.
