The Hidden Heart

Alicia Ben-Issa

Fiction

Frequency: 1 episode/88d. Total Eps: 3

ALL IT NEEDS IS YOUR DESPAIR AND YOUR BLOOD Talia Shaw thought she could stop running when she came to Norfolk, a rural town set against stunning wilderness. She hoped to settle here, pick apart her reasons for fleeing California, and finally get some sleep. Two years later, she’s made little progress. Lucas Gray, a Norfolk native, has been Talia’s partner with the State Police since she arrived. A divorcé who smokes constantly, he has his own baggage and doesn’t pry after others’—unless it’s for his job. An impossible murder deep in the mountains leads them to the home of Shep Mason, an ecologist badly injured in a car accident, and his girlfriend Selkie Carter, who appeared from the mountains one night with no plans to return. The Hidden Heart is an audio horror experience intended for mature audiences. Content warnings include foul language, body horror, and sexual content.
