for Mr Graves in Midnight Society
Suggested by coolvlogswithspencerdgnation

When a strange distress signal emerges from an abandoned lighthouse, five young investigators are drawn into a mystery far bigger than any of them imagined. Led by the determined Evelyn "Evy" Cross, the newly formed Midnight Society is a group of teenagers dedicated to uncovering the truth behind unexplained events, forgotten legends, and unsolved cases. Alongside fearless field investigator Zara "Z" Bennett, tech genius AJ Patel, research specialist Riley Blackwood, and enigmatic wildcard Evan Carter, the team transforms an old clocktower into a headquarters where clues become cases and mysteries become obsessions. Their first investigation uncovers a mysterious symbol linked to a voice hidden within radio static—a girl who may have disappeared years ago... or may never have existed at all. As new clues emerge across harbors, forests, abandoned buildings, and forgotten landmarks, the Midnight Society finds itself unraveling a larger conspiracy connected to ancient symbols, strange signals, and secrets buried deep within the town's history. With guidance from the mysterious Mr. Graves, the team must rely on their unique talents and growing friendship to face dangers that blur the line between mystery and the supernatural. Every case brings them closer to the truth. Every clue leads to something bigger. And some secrets were never meant to be found.
