An Radio Drama in 7 Parts + Prequel
On the desolate planet of Ika-Roa, two colonies struggle to co-habit peacefully after centuries cut off from the rest of the human race. Kara, the leader of the ritualistic First People, devoutly maintains her people’s isolationist traditions while their more moderate neighbours, led by the pragmatic Governor Warren, attempt to cope with spiralling population and hostile environmental conditions.
Tense relations between the two groups are strained further when a trading ship discovers Ika-Roa. At first, the amiable Captain Darrow tries to help the populace, offering food and medical supplies. But when the valuable mineral Esphora is discovered on Ika-Roa, a gold rush begins and the planet is quickly swamped by settlers from across the galaxy.
Desperate for the help they can offer, Governor Warren welcomes the traders whereas Kara and her people become even more isolated. Tensions between the three communities build steadily and despite Darrow’s efforts to control the situation, his company puts pressure on him to increase Esphora mining and milk the planet for all it’s worth. Soon, the whole of Ika-Roa is on the brink of violence and even the three leader’s painstaking negotiations and deft political manoeuvring can’t save the planet from the storm on the horizon.
