The Black Phone Synopsis:
“Imogene” is young and beautiful. She kisses like a movie star and knows everything about every film ever made. She’s also dead and waiting in the Rosebud Theater for Alec Sheldon one afternoon in 1945. . . .”Arthur Roth” is a lonely kid with big ideas and a gift for attracting abuse.
