Clockwork Bird
Or the Modern Icarus
Clockwork Bird is a science fiction horror audio drama about humans, hubris, and humanity from Hanging Sloth Studios, creators of Not Quite Dead, Spirit Box Radio, Remnants and The Twelvelms Conspiracy.
Shelly Croft has been drafted in to sort the case notes that will bring a company, U-Co, to trial for medical malpractice. Soon, however, she becomes certain their crimes run much deeper. Under the watchful, but unseeing, eye of Detective Inspector Dave Hughes, Shelly decides she must be the one to bring the truth of the horrors committed by U-Co to the world.
Robin Jaeger, a man half made of carbon fibre, is the poster boy for U-Co, who designed his synthetic limbs. But something strange is afoot. Robin has been legally dead for more than a decade and nobody has seen him for almost a year.
As Shelly listens to recordings of Dr Sophie Bennett, the scientist who designed Robin’s limbs, and the mysterious Alice Jones, she begins to formulate a grim picture of neglect, imprisonment, and maybe even murder…
