Growing up in the 1960s, Whit is obsessed with paranormal investigation, B-movies, and noise in the walls. In the 70s, he joins the Navy, uses drugs, gets sent to a psychiatrist. As the 80s begin, his friends grow up, Whit is alone. Tamper was the word used by real-life pulp science fiction writer Richard Shaver when he sparked a controversy among the readers of Amazing Stories Magazine in the 1940s by claiming that underground creatures were using invisible rays to tamper with his brain. Whit can relate.
