The Quiet Hour
When a Dublin audio producer starts hearing a missing woman’s voice in the raw recordings left behind by a dead true-crime podcaster, he assumes it’s a technical glitch. Then the details in the recordings begin to match events that have not happened yet. As he digs into the unfinished show, he finds a trail of lies buried in ordinary domestic life, where everyone sounds reasonable until they don’t.
