Via Brooklyn Theatre Co. presents an audio drama series of three stories that navigate the horrors of brash industrialization, unchecked consumerism, and intergenerational trauma. The protagonists rage against the monsters of society. But is society itself too strong to break?

Teenagers Lizzy and Monica are the best of friends, even though they could not come from more different backgrounds. There’s nothing they enjoy more than gossiping about school, hanging out at parties, and doing a little shopping together.

It’s the 1820’s and three prospectors are searching for iron ore deep in the rural North Eastern United States in the hopes of finally finding their fortune. However, when a malevolent presence warns that they are not welcome amongst the rural landscape, Abraham, Noah, and Matthew question their commitment to the quest and what prospecting means not only for their future, but their very lives themselves.
