Can you ever truly escape your past? That's the question which haunts Connie, a journalist on a small fictional island in this 10-part audio drama series, 'Echoes of Shadows.'

Her life just seems to be a never-ending rollercoaster of lows and more lows going off the rails every year. It might seem on the surface she’s got it all figured out but in reality, she’s sinking. Fiadh is living in a flat with no electricity or food. She’s too embarrassed to ask for help. Her dad is a drug addict and she has unfortunately gone the same way: heroin just seems to have that kick to make her forget about everything. Connie hasn’t seen Fi since 2015. And the last time they saw each other it was kind of complicat
