Publisher's summary

Ida Pederson was an executive at ‘Nyberg Shoreline’ when she was sent to the small Northern Irish village of Port Kriel to diffuse tensions between the company and the local community. When an unexploded bomb was identified on the seabed near Nyberg’s windfarm, Ida sent a local crew of eight men to investigate. That night, only two men returned home, barely alive and unable to speak of what had happened out at sea.

Now, corporate lawyer Michelle has driven in the torrential rain to a remote house on the Swedish Coast to question Ida, who seems determined to leave the past beneath the waves. Is it a case of corporate espionage or something altogether darker…and is the danger really over?

Below is a darkly tense thriller from Belfast based writers Aaron Gray and Paul Skillen, and is Executive Produced by Jed Mercurio with Sound Design by John Wakefield.

Starring: Atilla Akinci, Sophia Ally, Rakie Ayola, Myanna Buring, Robert Calvert, Elly Condron, John Cormack, Caoimhe Farren, Conor Gormally, Simon Kane, Paul Mallon, Gerard McCarthy, Fergal McElherron, Melanie McHugh, Declan Rodgers, Richard Sherwood and Roger Thomson.

This production contains scenes of attempted suicide which some listeners may find distressing.

Now available in Dolby Atmos on Audible.

Good production, overused plot

Quite a cast, impressive as a production but the plot is well-trod, and IMHO better trod by others. To say more will spoil it for those who listen.

Sounds amazing!

This sounded like a movie, but I could enjoy it while doing chores :) Acting was great and the story was fast paced.

Fantastic Creepy Adventure

This was a thrilling story about a fishing village being impacted by a new wind turbine project. Something was awakened below. Find out what happens and how the town copes. Fantastic cast and production. I had no trouble with sound effects. Needs a sequel. Loved the twists and turns.

Kept my interest and sounds great

Plot has been done before. Voice performances were excellent and that plus the immersive sound pulled this ahead of the pack.

Overall, I liked it

The language was over the top in profanity, but other than that I enjoyed it.

i love the twist on an idea that has not been overused by sci fi writers.
