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.

Fantastic from the start, an awesome production- griping

This audible has it all - a great narration, storyline and production. It’s like watching a film without the pictures. The voices/ cast and background noises allowing you to picture the story
The story is compelling, fast moving with depth and intrigue .
Let’s hope there’s another one on the books for this team - well done to all

Very enjoyable, great performance

Excellent Dolby atmos performance with full audio background. Really creates an immersive atmosphere. I really enjoyed the voice acting work as well.
It came to a rather abrupt end so I’m left hoping there will be a sequel.
Otherwise great book.

Gripping storytelling and acting-highly recommend!

Loved it! Bone-chilling and tense psychological thriller that builds throughout the story. Looking forward to 2nd series...

Good performances & storyline

I don't why people have rated this low, a convoluted storyline, which may not be for everyone, but it kept me listening from beginning to end. Thoroughly enjoyed it

Disappointing

This started well and initially I was gripped. However I found it difficult to hear the whispered dialogue - which was a lot - against all the background sound effects which were intrusive. The plot became a bit silly and was a clone of many others such as The Rig. It’s a trendy trope.
I would recommend if you have good hearing

Overly loud background sounds

Alienesk storyline good but many unnecessary background noises.Some barely heard voices. I had to alter the volume several times. The Producers should remember there is no visual information for the listener so the sudden loud noises & muffled speech is just annoying & confusing.

Terrible sound balance

The sound effects are far too loud and drown out the voices. I found it difficult to finish but persevered to learn the outcome of the story.

Totally loved it!

Really enjoyed the story, was really gripped throughout, nothing predictable at all.
Make sure you listen to the end of the credits.
