Description
In the wake of his wife’s unsolved disappearance, DCI Tom Helston must return from leave when a kidnapping, steeped in ritualistic activity, stuns a quiet Cornish village and reveals clues that could lead him to his wife.
Think the X-Files meets the BBC…
This project came about because my husband and writing partner on HELSTON took one of those ancestry DNA tests. Our pilot came together after months of exhaustive research on his family tree leading back to the Harlan Bay area of Cornwall.
We planned a trip to gorgeous Cornwall, rich with folklore and stories of sirens, giants, and witches. It began as it so often does, with Josh and I peppering each other with questions, “What if...we set a British crime drama in Cornwall…and what if we explored its many myths and legends?” And HELSTON was born.
