Pontypool, NC: population 2,408 and dropping. Radio 660’s own disgraced shock jock Grant Mazzy, along with his producers Sydney and Lori-Ann, broadcast live from the town’s church basement. Other than Grant’s bizarre encounter with a babbling woman on the way to work, it’s a typical small-time news day. And then the calls start. And the screaming. As re-ports of violent behavior and mob scenes flood in, it becomes clear that something very bad is happening to the residents of Pontypool. But what?
