Summary
Tyler’s brother just died, he’s high out of his mind, and he accidentally sexted his drug dealer.
Now Josh Dun won’t leave his apartment, there’s a fucking human skull on the mantle, and the Columbus police keep calling them to crime scenes where someone’s leaving original classical music next to the bodies.
The murders are gruesome. The domesticity is worse.
Tyler hasn’t felt this alive in months.

Summary
Between midnight and 1 AM on their campus radio station, Tyler Joseph hosts a show called "Midnight Philosophy," where he questions everything about faith, identity, and purpose. Josh Dun hosts "Alternative Hours" right after, responding to Tyler's existential crises with carefully chosen indie rock.
Meanwhile, Tyler's religious family wants answers he can't give, and the yellow dashes on the street seem to offer dangerous solutions.
(Or: Two college radio DJs save their station, each other, and themselves. Not necessarily in that order.)
