Skye and Kezia hope to start a radical new life but is Tobias really the visionary environmentalist he claims to be? A tense, atmospheric noir set in a remote Exmoor valley.

A remote valley, echoing with birdsong. An expensive off-grid eco house, going to ruin. A wire fence garlanded with dead crows. And a visionary environmentalist, fast disappearing down a rabbit-hole of conspiracy theories.

Following Skye's burnout, she and her partner Kezia hope to start a radical new life in the alternative eco community set up by Skye's friend Tobias. Tobias is an idealistic disruptor who has tried to find a more sustainable way to live. But is Tobias really the visionary environmentalist he claims to be?
