Adam Blackwell and Amy Stirling met as graduate students in anthropology, both obsessed with studying the same dead language and long-lost culture. Their relationship was always... complicated.

Then, they became the first two ... more

  • Soooo good

    Anyone who says there’s too much political commentary is being silly. If an offhand comment by a character about not liking billionaires or homophobes *offends* you enough that the entire show is ruined, then maybe you shouldn’t be listening to queer indie audio dramas, lol.

  • The prestige meets the avengers with a splash of both court room / political drama topped off with some YA (but not in a bad way) romantic feuding.

  • Does this get anywhere

    I like the premise of this show. But I find the Amy character completely over the top. I keep waiting for something to happen but really it just drags on. I’ve given up.

  • For lovers of mystery, magic, and lore

    Well produced, strong voice acting, and a suspenseful storyline produced in the tried and true format of “flashback after the fact”. It’s a modernity-meets-ancient archeological-magic story. There is a mysterious ancient culture, artifacts with power, and world-changing consequences.
